Cranfield’s mission is to be a global leader in education and transformational research in technology and management. However, we also consider our role in transforming global agendas for social good an important part of this mission and are focused on empowering under-developed countries to utilise research to stimulate their economies.

Our links with Africa are long-standing and built on our research which supports African students to study at Cranfield MSc taught courses, executive courses or apply for a PhD award. We are offering Cranfield Global Manufacturing Leadership Master's Scholarship for the future leaders in Manufacturing from all over the World.

Our experience of over four decades of working with students from Egypt has enabled us to cater for their specific academic, religious and dietary needs and regional manager Samina Masood, makes regular visits to Kenya and other African countries throughout the year.

96% of our graduates are in employment within six months after graduation, securing jobs in some of the world’s best-known organisations. Watch an inspiring video where our graduates share their experience of how studying in Cranfield shaped their careers worldwide.

My time at Cranfield was phenomenal. From the excellent, diverse and very accessible faculty, to the superb facilities, there was a great focus on the practical application of knowledge and the emphasis on acquiring the much needed soft skills that make you a well-rounded finance professional.
