Cranfield University is a post-graduate only university situated between Bedford and Milton Keynes. I completed at Cranfield University a Mdes in Design for Innovation and Sustainability in their Centre for Competitive Design between 2011-2012. I was elected as the first Green Officer for the Student Union. I lived on Campus.
What were the reasons I chose to study at Cranfield University?
Dr Justyna Rybicka completed the same Master at Cranfield a year prior to me, and she encouraged me warmly to attend the university. I was fascinated by the master topic. I was at the time at the University of Northampton scrutinising the reasons why consumers consume so much knowing that the rest of the world is in a pitiful state through a marketing degree. The perspective of understanding further design processes and ways of developing sustainable products were appealing.
How was your experience at Cranfield University?
My experience was OK. I made some good friends, leading me to do a master's thesis about the Circular Economy. I was introduced to Design for Sustainable Behaviour which eventually led me to do a Ph.D at Loughborough University.
Cranfield University is in a middle of a field, and so it can become quite isolating, and I found many instances where students mental health became quite poor through isolation and hardworking hours. So, I encourage those who can commute to live in a more lively and healthy environment, to do so. In such a small environment, social, racial, cultural, political differences between students are readily apparent. For those interested in observing how socio-economic and cultural structures are organised as well as what type of violence are at play in a university environment, Cranfield is the place to be.
