Library
Our extensive and specialised libraries on both sites offer a vast array of sector-specific resources. Our information specialists will support you in accessing and using them, and respond quickly to requests for one-to-one help. Our aim is to ensure that, when you graduate, you are familiar with the resources widely used in your industry and have the soft skills required to stay informed of the latest developments in your sector.
IT
Our IT services offer innovative online and on-campus real-time, interactive opportunities integral to your learning experience. These bring you closer to our state-of-the-art facilities when you are unable to be physically there. In addition to high-performance, commercially-relevant software such as CFX, Fluent and Matlab, you will also have access to specialist engineering applications to develop and test your own software.
“I feel really supported when I’m not at Cranfield campus. The library provides the majority of its books online, and they also send out book chapters and journal articles electronically by email. Thanks to IT services, we can have meetings online and access all kinds of programmes, so I do feel very connected to the campus.”
