“The highlight of the course was the opportunity to work with industry partners during my thesis, allowing me to apply the knowledge I learnt in the year. I feel the environment at Cranfield really allowed me to develop my potential and prepare myself for industry.”
Muhammad Yousuf Shaikh,
Flight Physics Software Graduate, Airbus UK, (Applied Artificial Intelligence MSc 2022)
“I studied Aerospace Vehicle Design MSc at Cranfield University, as I wanted to move into the aerospace side of engineering and design. I envisioned myself graduating and working for an aerospace company. However, my career trajectory changed in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Today, I work for McLaren, which was beyond my wildest dreams. I had a very tunnelled vision of what I thought my career could be, and then Cranfield opened the world of opportunities up for me.”
