Goal 4: Quality Education

Lifelong learning

Our lifelong learning resources offer all alumni the opportunity to continue their learning and increase their knowledge in their chosen industry.

Cranfield runs a dedicated programme of talks for students, faculty, staff, alumni, our partners in industry and sustainability enthusiasts. The talks are open to everyone, including local residents. Talks are also posted on YouTube for those who could not attend in person or want to revisit a subject. This programme is presented via the School of Management’s Sustainability Network.

Vocational training and continued professional development

Our CPD programme is key for professionals looking to enhance existing skills or stay up to date with current thinking without the commitment of full-time education.

Cranfield’s Centre for Executive Development provides a wide range of vocational courses.

We launched the Mycotoxin Training Hub in 2021. The Hub aims to provide targeted and efficient training and research programmes to raise awareness of the challenges the agrifood chain is facing today and will face in the future (e.g. Brexit, regulation changes, climate change).

Outreach and public engagement

Cranfield’s community and public engagement is all about us engaging with those around us, so that we can:

• Obtain insight and work with the public to enrich and inform our research activity.
• Deliver and take part in events and activities that inspire young people and the public about the possibilities of STEM.
• Encourage young people to consider careers that will build a bigger and more diverse STEM and management workforce.

You can find out more on our public engagement pages.
