Why did you choose Cranfield?

“The course provided me with a very strong theoretical understanding of international relations and security sector reform in particular, as well as an all-embracing academic and professional context for my previous experience in the British Army. As a civilian consultant advising the Somali Ministry of Defence this has really helped me to better tailor my advice to their needs and to find my way in a complex security and political environment.”

What was Cranfield's impact

“The hands-on teaching and support from the academic staff was second to none. The course was well-paced, intellectually stimulating and the international make-up of the cohort provided a useful variety of views and opinions in each module. This resulted in many lively, enjoyable and even fruitful debates. I particularly valued the advice and help from the module leaders who always found time in a busy schedule to see me.”
