This course has helped me to stand out from others as the majority of master’s courses in Europe are generic engineering, whereas here you have much more specific courses that can help you to specialise. I think that’s something that companies really appreciate which has in turn has benefited my career.
What I have enjoyed about Cranfield University so far is definitely the people! People at Cranfield, whether it's the academic staff, non-academic staff or students, they make Cranfield better.
I really like the structure of the course and the lecturers. I completed my undergrad at another university in the UK and throughout the 3 years I only met the course director probably once or twice. However, it is very different here with my current course director, Dr. Konstantinos Georgarakis. As the course rep, he is always open to my concerns, suggestions and my colleagues find him very approachable.
My advice to future students would be to definitely pursue it! Postgraduate studies provide a vital bridge in the gap between what you learn in academia in your undergraduate courses and your future job in industry. It’s an experience where you’re technically challenged but at the same time given the freedom and opportunity to own your work, where you are the direct driver of your results.
