About to start your journey at Cranfield? We’re here to help!

Congratulations on accepting your offer to study at Cranfield! If you’re keen to get a head start before your course begins, our Library Services team is here to support you every step of the way.

Embarking on postgraduate study means you’re no longer just absorbing knowledge, you’re shaping it. Success is no longer determined simply by working hard, but by working effectively. That’s where strong study skills become essential.

Get a head start

If you want to start developing some of the key skills you will need in your first few weeks at Cranfield, we have developed a self-assessment tool to help. It gauges your confidence in a range of skill areas and then focuses on testing your academic language skills. Your results will signpost you to relevant resources and support within our Study Skills Hub that will direct your learning and get you in the Cranfield mindset.

We also recommend visiting our Preparing to study at Cranfield pages on MyCranfield. They’re packed with tips and insights that other students have found helpful before starting their studies.

Questions?

We hope you find these resources helpful as you prepare for your studies. Whether you’re joining us at Cranfield or Shrivenham, and whatever course you’re taking, we’re really looking forward to welcoming you to the library!

If you have any questions about study skills or library resources and services, please contact us and we will be happy to help you.
