Why choose Cranfield

From an Australian perspective - why chose Cranfield?

Distance

If you are going to spend at least 12 months of your life getting an MBA then you may as well get a good one. Having to travel that extra mile (or 11,000 miles from Australia in this case) to get it should not be an issue – assuming you have the right reasons for wanting to study

Quality

The Cranfield MBA is consistently ranked higher than the Australian MBAs.

Price

When you do your price comparisons you’ll find out that MBA prices vary widely. At AUD $68,750 for the full time MBA, the Cranfield MBA is priced competitively against the other MBA institutions. MBA fees vary and are currently around AUD $50,000. So even without the Cranfield Australian Alumni Scholarship, studying at Cranfield can make a lot of sense to the right special person. In addition, the beauty of the Cranfield Australian Alumni Scholarship is that the winner will be able to benefit from the course at a significantly reduced personal financial cost. The Cranfield Salary Survey data shows that increases of 36%-372% in salary for MBA are achievable.

Reusable

Employers recognise that a Cranfield MBA is a quality program.

Skills in Demand

MBA graduates have greater access to more of the type of jobs that they want and in many cases can command significant salary increases.

Senior Roles

The additional skills will lead you, if you are so inclined, to some very senior job roles – CEOs and very senior manaers of multi-million dollar international companies.

Past Cranfield MBA Alumni have held senior positions at:

ANZ Banking Group
PBL
and others

Rarity Value

In the whole of Australia you will be one of a limited and small number of people qualified with an international, high quality, MBA. You will be one of an elite few.

Personal Development

The MBA course content handles the usual basics to be expected from a masters course and adds a fine blend of “eye opening”, “influential” and “at times life changing” personal development. Many Cranfield Alumni will tell you that their time at Cranfield was very influential on their personal development, so that when they left Cranfield they were able to successfully take on new challenges.

Network

The value of gaining like-minded friends and associates is immense. You are very likely to develop some very close friendships which last many years – some MBAs have actually married each other. The Cranfield name will allow you to join the world-wide network which will give you access to a wide range of like minded individuals. The Australian Alumni comprises a mix of Australians who have returned home, as well as individuals from Overseas who have “seen the light” and made Australia their home.

Location

Cranfield University is situated just 75km northwest of London in the British countryside. It has easy access by road M1, rail from nearby Milton Keynes and has a local airstrip for those who want to fly in! So when you do get a spare time at the end of term, you can then do some travelling to the rest of the UK and Europe.”
