Country visits
Representatives from Cranfield regularly visit the United Arab Emirates. We attend education exhibitions, visit universities and talk to prospective students and their families.
Please view our events calendar to find out when we will next be visiting.
If you are already studying in the UK, our Open Days provide the ideal opportunity to visit the campus and meet staff and students.
The approach the university takes on the Air Transport topics is progressive and empowering. The PhD degree added a brand to my competencies in the workplace and I am recognized among my peers, co-workers as being the one who knows how to find answers. It means a lot to me to sustain my relationship with Cranfield University as I take pride in being part of Cranfield big family overseas.
