  • Symplicity – ongoing access to this portal; apply to alumni opportunities and events
  • Subscription resources – continued access to a selection of useful research sites
  • Signposting – advertisement of relevant alumni opportunities and initiatives through our channels
  • Entrepreneurs – advice for those looking to start their own business
  • Rankings and Graduate Outcomes – managing surveys which help to rank your qualification
  • Discount scheme – alumni who return to Cranfield for further study are eligible for a 20% discount
  • Visit the Alumni career support page to discover all the ways in which your postgraduate career can be supported.
