Double scholarship success for aviation safety and accident investigation students

Two students from Cranfield University have won prestigious International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) Rudolf Kapustin Memorial Scholarships in the same year for the first time.

Ao Sun and Yifan Wang – who are both Safety and Human Factors in Aviation MSc students – were awarded the $2,000 scholarships after submitting essays focusing on the protection of mental health for accident investigators and the use of 3D accident scene reconstructions, respectively.

New research set to unlock nature mysteries and tackle biodiversity crisis

The £2 million project, funded by Natural Environment Research Council, aims to reverse habitat loss and the degradation of land caused by agricultural intensification, urban development, climate change and pollution.

It will look at how these ecosystems knit together through complex individual processes like nutrient cycling, carbon capture and pollination - rather than simply looking at the presence and number of particular species. This is an innovative approach to understanding ecosystem processes and will have major implications for ecological restoration target-setting.

Cranfield’s Student Immigration and Funding Team can offer support and guidance to international students who require a visa to study in the UK, as well as post-study visa support. Within the Student Immigration and Funding Team we’re available to offer information, advice and guidance to Tier 4 students for post-study visa options, some of which are:

• Start-up visa and Innovator visa routes for those looking to start a business in the UK after their studies;
• Tier 2 - General Work visa for skilled jobs for anyone seeking employment with a company;
• Or, for students finishing a PhD, there’s the Tier 4 – Doctorate Extension Scheme visa which allows students to stay in the UK and search for work.

Cranfield careers advice

The Cranfield Careers Service is available to all current students and lifelong support is also offered to our alumni. Cranfield subscribes to Student Circus to ensure that our students are well prepared to secure a job in the UK. For example, after completing his MSc in Water and Wastewater Engineering in 2019, Kelvin Mutai successfully secured a place as a Graduate Civil Engineer at Mott MacDonald, Cambridgeshire - a global engineering, management and development consultancy. He described the support he received as “supportive, personalised and genuine.”
