Placement
Cranfield University in the Uk is one of the few Universities with a placement cell. The team is quite helpful, but it all comes down to the student on the efforts they make for an opportunity. various companies visit throughout the year.
Chose Cranfield since it offered an internship program after the end of the taught program and the fact that the Masters dissertation had to be based on the internship learning.
Placement
Now most companies are not economically able to hire people because of covid so find a job it's quite difficult but having this MSc makes it easier
Because I wanted to learn aircraft design and this was the most famous MSc in Europe
Placement
The research programs are excellent for mechanical related programs. It has a very old reputation for mechanical related programs and is ranked 43 for mechanical related programs
This university has their own wind tunnel where f1teams test their vehicle
Placement
Since I am still pursuing my master's it is hard to comment on how the placement is, but from alumni who have studied here before and general consensus, a Cranfield university student has better odds of getting placed in a good company with a handsome salary.
I chose Cranfield due to its industry connections, reputation in the Engineering community, and practical-based learning rather than theoretical, and so far I have not been disappointed.
Placement
Opportunities are plentiful but you need to be on your A-game to qualify for them.
Due to industrial tie-ups and computing infrastructure of universities.
Placement
In the UK, the opportunities for post-study placement are minimal and would require the student to stand out of the crowd to bag one. However, there are many research opportunities that one can apply for. With the existing Covid Crisis and recession running in the UK, the country may not be the best option if you intend to stay back and work in the country. However with the name of the university, one can bag opportunities in other countries, especially in India and other Asian countries.
The primary reason I chose the university was its legacy in the field of aerospace. Being an aerospace engineer, I wanted to apply to this university whose aerospace school is 75+ years old. The research done by the university and the curriculum offered was the other main reason behind my choice. The course I have applied for a course that aims at training the students through practical courses instead of just teaching theory. The industrial linkage of the university was another reason.
Placement
With my batch (batch of 2020) the placement opportunities were strongly impacted by the pandemic which means that the placement opportunities were almost nil. I am not aware of a single person in my batch who secured a job in the UK while requiring visa sponsorship.
1. Good ranking on the league tables - QS and FT 2. Course structure 3. Proximity to London (to be able to attend networking events comfortably and in case of job interviews)
Placement
Cranfield has many industrial connections and you can make connections as a student through projects. If you can impress them from the early stages, further opportunities can come easily.
It is one of the best in the UK and the world for aerospace manufacturing and other engineering subjects as well as management.
Placement
Because of Covid-19, it did not happen last year. may be it will happen in the future. About job seeking, this year is also very tough for students.
Cranfield University pays more attention to practical training, and this is reflected in their characteristic module design in the course, Group Design Project etc. Cranfield University has a strong connection with industry which also can help students to build a successful career with confidence.
Placement
As the field is very specific and it is only a postgraduate university, no promises were made regarding placement.
One of the best in the world in the selected field. They have the best laboratory facilities and faculty who are industry leaders with many years of professional experience.
