What we offer
The Cranfield MBA Double Degree will allow you to first gain specialist knowledge from your Cranfield master's and, upon completion, join the Cranfield full-time MBA and a close-knit international cohort of no more than 100 experienced professionals. That's large enough to challenge your perspectives and introduce new ideas. But small enough to guarantee individual attention thanks to an 8:1 staff-to-student ratio.
Within our inspiring global Cranfield community, you will be:
- supported to unlock your unique potential;
- challenged to become a strategic leader in your chosen industry, a critical and innovative thinker;
- empowered to pursue your professional goals on the international stage.
On graduation, you will be poised for success in any sector thanks to expert teaching, real-world projects, 121 career coaching and mentoring.
Assert your expertise confidently in the sector of your choice
The Cranfield MBA Double Degree takes a 1+1 structure – first the full-time master’s, then the Full-time MBA – which unlocks a 50% scholarship for your MBA. During your Cranfield master’s you will have access Cranfield University's unique and state-of-the-art industrial-scale facilities, including an on-site airport. With Cranfield’s dedicated postgraduate expertise and influential position in industry, you’ll be part of an innovative environment that has a track record of developing solutions to real-world problems – for example in water and sanitation, aviation safety, and humanitarian mine detection and clearance – that have improved the lives of millions of people around the world.
After completing your Cranfield master's, you will enrol on the Cranfield Full-time MBA at Cranfield School of Management - one of the oldest, most prestigious business schools in Europe. The Full-MBA programme consistently ranks amongst the best in the UK, and you will learn from truly inspirational faculty, ranked 6th in the world for teaching power.
The MBA programme helps you develop your level of specialist expertise and, by challenging you to master the skills that make great leaders, will empower you to move to the next level of your career journey.
