About Cranfield University and Scholarship
Cranfield University was founded in 1946 as the College of Aeronautics at the then-RAF Cranfield station. Roxbee Cox, afterward Lord Kings Norton, who was appointed as the college’s first governor in 1945 and thereafter served as vice-chair and (from 1962) head of the board, played an important role in its growth. He spearheaded the college’s diversification efforts, resulting in the establishment of the Cranfield University School of Management in 1967, and successfully petitioned for a royal charter and degree-awarding powers. When these were granted in 1969, he became the Cranfield Institute of Technology’s first chancellor, a position he held until 1997.
Cranfield University was established by a royal charter amendment in 1993. Cranfield became entirely postgraduate in 2003, and the Shrivenham campus enrolled its final undergraduates.
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, launched the university’s first international campus in the Torrens Building in Adelaide, alongside Carnegie Mellon University, in 2007. In collaboration with local colleges and employing certain remote learning courses, it provided short-term postgraduate degrees in defense management and technology. However, South Australia’s “defense boom” did not materialize, and the school was closed in 2010 due to a lack of students. Silsoe College was closed in 2009, and its operations were moved to Cranfield’s main campus.
Cranfield campus is located around 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of central London, in the community of Cranfield, Bedfordshire. Milton Keynes and Bedford, the next significant towns, are around 8 miles (13 kilometers) distant. Cambridge lies around 30 miles (48 kilometers) to the east.
Shrivenham is located around 73 miles (117 kilometers) west of London, next to Shrivenham hamlet, 7 miles (11 kilometers) from the center of the nearest town, Swindon, and approximately 23 miles (37 kilometers) from Oxford.
The Cranfield campus is located inside the Cambridge-Milton Keynes-Oxford corridor, which is intended to connect these cities and foster economic progress. There is also a plan for a fast transport system connecting (growing) Milton Keynes to the campus, albeit this is still in the early stages of development.
