Cranfield School of Management
Cranfield School of Management, located about 75 km north-west of London in the UK, is one of Europe’s leading university management schools. It is part of Cranfield University, renowned for its high quality postgraduate teaching and research and its strong links to industry and business. Management education and development has been offered at Cranfield University since the late 1940s and the School of Management was formally set up in 1967.
The triple accreditation of AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB, held by only 18 schools throughout the world, as well as Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) recognised research training and degree programmes, are testimony to the academic quality of Cranfield.
In 2007 Cranfield established the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility to provide a focal point for our work on responsible business and sustainability.
