Overview
Cranfield School of Management has been delivering world-class MBA programmes for over 40 years and is triple accredited by AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.
The Cranfield MBA is not just about acquiring skills and techniques of general management; we build confidence, emotional intelligence, decision making skills and team working abilities – qualities that make for inspirational leaders.
Interactive learning
Our experienced students bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the classroom and share their experiences with teaching faculty who are both leading academics and practitioners. Our faculty have worked with senior executives from global corporations to business start-ups, and continue to explore ideas and best practice with the 7,000 managers who come to Cranfield on executive development programmes each year.
The MBA programme
Students can choose to study our one-year Full-time MBA or our two-year Executive MBA on a part-time or modular basis.
Core modules in part one build competence in the main functional areas of business and the key skills associated with performing these functions. In part two students then select themed modules that take an integrated approach to contemporary business issues and current research.
Personal development is central to the Cranfield experience and is a compulsory module that runs throughout the MBA. Our faculty and career development team work closely with students to improve their team working, enhance their ability to relate to others and develop the skills they need to apply the knowledge they acquire.
A compulsory International Business Experience (IBE) study tour allows students to apply their learning in an international context. Each IBE includes academic input through a partner business school, hosted company visits and meetings with MBA alumni and other community members.
The programme closes with a capstone event, where students showcase their learning to alumni and industry leaders.
Personalised career development
Our dedicated career development team of 11 professionals includes three business psychologists and five industry experts. They help refine the skills students need to achieve their career goals, and through individual coaching, leadership lectures, careers fairs and networking events, help create opportunities for them to make rewarding career transitions. 97% of our recent MBA graduates were in employment within 3 months of graduation.
Students also network across our influential alumni base – with over 12,000 contacts in 115 countries around the world – through the Cranfield Management Association’s interactive website.

We encourage you to come and visit us to find out more. We host events at Cranfield throughout the year and attend fairs and information sessions all over the world. See www.cranfieldMBA.info/events for details.
Student profile
Helen Hume, MBA 2008
Senior Auditor, British American Tobacco
Recommended by a friend, Cranfield made an immediately positive impact on me through the fantastic efficiency of the admissions department. The first week set the tone for the year where the previous year's students laid on potentially the most brilliant and exhausting week of my life introducing me and my fellow students to the Cranfield Experience: it’s not just about the work, it’s about your life as a whole and everyone in it.
I have always believed in the power of teamwork, my time at Cranfield reinforced that tenfold. Cranfield taught me that brilliant business doesn’t have to be cut throat, in fact sustainable long term business can be based on collaboration and visionary leadership. The syllabus supported this delivering both the business basics and the less tangible and arguably more difficult softer skills around presentation skills, self-awareness, and personal impact, leading and influencing others.
I didn’t have a clear vision of my future career. The careers department helped solve that through coaching sessions with occupational psychologists and offering an array of insights into different industries and sectors. Ultimately I identified the company culture that I wanted to be part of, and facilitated by the careers department, I found my current role with which I am delighted as it allows me to blend my prior experience with my MBA in a continually challenging and incredibly interesting role.
