Why I Chose Cranfield
Knowing Cranfield from my MSc I deliberately decided to do my PhD here. As such, I have already been in contact with faculty and my doctoral research topic while writing my MSc thesis. Further, I appreciate the structure of the PhD programme which helps to stay focused especially as a part-time student.
