Our strategy in action
“The Cranfield group project is a really important thing that we look at, particularly through the interview process. We need graduates who are pragmatic, practical people, who have got a good strong academic background, but can solve problems and work together as a team, to deliver our missions.”
Kathryn Graham, Systems Engineering Manager, Surrey Satellite Technology
“When students entrust you with their future, it's a great responsibility for you to have. If they tell me they had an interview and got the job, it makes me feel so proud. They came here, undertook all this work, and eventually Cranfield had a profound effect in shaping their future."
Dr Ioannis Giannopoulos, Senior Lecturer
“I absolutely enjoy the continuous challenge of helping to develop the student learning experience, both inside and outside of the classroom. We pride ourselves on making sure that we give our students the best possible education and I hope that I have contributed in some way to this through my own passion for teaching."
Professor Joe Nellis, Deputy Dean and Professor of Global Economy
“I am passionate about providing an excellent service to our students. We have a fantastic network across the University who work so hard to reduce and remove students’ stresses, enable them to achieve what they should be achieving and really make a difference to their lives.”
Rebecca Smyth, Senior Assistant Registrar
