Cranfield University has a vibrant international community and is historically a popular destination for students from India
We have been warmly welcoming students from India since the 1940’s. Cranfield University also has a long history of partnering with the Indian defence industry. For over 70 years, we have educated Indian students both from Government and industry. We forged new partnerships with Manipal University, the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Aadyah Aerospace Private Limited and the Government of Telangana among others to provide education and research.
As an exclusively postgraduate university with a student to staff ratio - 7:1 that is one of the best for any university in the UK and the world, Cranfield represents a unique offering for Indian students thinking of studying in the UK.
We currently have 219 students from India studying with us.
Indian students at Cranfield benefit from excellent teaching delivered by our world-renowned academics, state-of-the art facilities, industrial-scale research and real-life industry projects with leading global organisations.
96% of our graduates are employed or in further study.
Cranfield provides a professional working environment but our Indian students also enjoy campus life and get involved in a wide variety of clubs, societies and associations including the Cranfield Indian Society.
