Both Cranfield and Shrivenham are fully self-contained centres of academic excellence, set in extensive grounds in classic English countryside, just short distances from towns, cities and many other places of interest.  

Excellent transport links make it easy to get around and explore, with London, one of the world’s most global and cosmopolitan cities, just 50 miles from Cranfield and 80 miles from Shrivenham.

On campus, there is a true sense of community, helping you to forge friendships during your studies and leisure time, in a safe and peaceful environment. Whatever your recreational, social or sporting interests, there are many opportunities to make friends and have a great time.

We welcome students from over 100 countries every year and you are part of an international community where cultural diversity is valued and cherished.

There is a wide range of accommodation to meet diverse requirements, including family homes and single student apartment blocks. And whether you come to Cranfield University as an individual or with your family, there is a wide range of support and assistance on hand to help you before, during and after your stay with us. Find out more about accommodation, sport and clubs, the local area and facilities at our Cranfield campus or Shrivenham site.
