Cranfield University has partnered with UWE Bristol to form an innovative partnership offering students a smoother pathway into postgraduate study at Cranfield School of Management.

All undergraduate students from UWE who are enrolled on business degrees – including those taking top-up courses - can apply for a guaranteed place on any of Cranfield’s one-year, full-time MSc courses, subject to meeting entry requirements.

In addition, applicants will automatically be considered for a Cranfield Merit Scholarship as part of their application and have the opportunity to benefit from one of three dedicated £10,000 Scholarships exclusively for UWE Bristol students

Professor Lynette Ryals OBE, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty of Business and Management at Cranfield University, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for any UWE business students to come to Cranfield and enjoy the benefits of our industry-focused postgraduate education.

“We’re very proud that our master’s courses are recognised as world-class, and we look forward to welcoming UWE students as they continue their education and set themselves on the path to a successful career.”

Professor Yvonne Beach, Head of the College of Business and Law at UWE Bristol, said: “We are excited to be working in collaboration with Cranfield School of Management, a world leader in management education, on this pioneering approach for the sector and offering our students an excellent alternative choice when they are considering their journey through higher education.”

Cranfield School of Management is one of Europe’s top business schools, and was ranked 4 th in the UK in the 2024 Financial Times European Business School Rankings. It is also one of an elite group of business schools worldwide to hold triple accreditation from the AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.
