Why did you choose Cranfield?

Mark decided to come to Cranfield University due to the reputation of the School of Management. He was looking to study part-time on a doctoral programme that offered solutions to important and complex business problems, and Cranfield provided a high quality course that met his requirements. With access to a highly supportive supervisory and administrative team, Mark felt that Cranfield was the best option for him.

What was Cranfield's impact

Mark found many aspects of his Cranfield DBA studies rewarding. In particular, he valued the cohort and faculty he worked with, the collaborative Cranfield environment, the new skills and knowledge he gained, and the personal development he experienced. 

While researching, Mark has continued to serve in a senior role in a commercial organisation. The course has enabled Mark to find more effective solutions to business challenges and to improve business performance. In future, he hopes to do some teaching at business schools.
