Cranfield University is a public postgraduate university specializing in science, engineering, design, technology, and management. It operates as a public institution, receiving funding from the UK government and other sources, but it focuses exclusively on postgraduate education and research.
Unlike traditional universities, Cranfield does not offer undergraduate degrees. It is known for its strong industry links and practical research, particularly in aerospace, defense, and engineering. While it has a unique structure, its status as a public university aligns it with other UK higher education institutions funded by the state.
