Welcome to the June 2021 issue of Cranfield University agent newsletter

Welcome to the June edition of the Cranfield Agent Newsletter. As we approach the intake, we are striving to support you to recruit the maximum numbers of students possible. My team, as always are here to support you with any queries that you have. I have been meeting with agents around the World to understand how we can work together over the next intake. I always enjoy meeting with agents and understand the tremendous work that you all do on Cranfield's behalf so thank you. The deposit deadline for applications is 30th June. Please ensure that your applicants have made their deposit payments by this date or please contact your International Development Manager if there are any issues. We still have spaces on most courses; however, applications are high, and some courses are filling up so if you have any applicants in the pipeline that are yet to apply, please do so as soon as possible.

There are a couple of updates that I wanted to share with you. We have announced the Cranfield International Arrivals Bursary. Based on the feedback, that my team and I received, we wanted to reduce some of the challenges related to covid for our applicants. We believe that this is one of the best packages in the sector and is open to all full-time international students starting between July and October this year.

Cranfield is very passionate about Women in STEM. Not only are we offering 6 full fee scholarships to talented Women from Latin America as part of the British Council Women in STEM campaign, 2 of our female academics have been named as winners of the 2021 Top 50 Women in Engineering (WE50) and two others reaching the final 100 of the annual awards. The school of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing is led by Professor Dame Helen Atkinson CBE, FREng who has been recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2021 for services to engineering and education. In the previous newsletter, we announced the new Vice Chancellor; Karen Holford and she is also a leader in Engineering reinforcing our commitment to empowering Women.

We are also excited that Professor Chris Fogwill will join Cranfield as the PVC for the school of Water, Energy and Environment (SWEE). Please check out our Facebook and LinkedIn pages for more exciting Cranfield stories.
