Eren chose Cranfield University for his master’s based on that knowledge of the quality of education provided by professors who are highly qualified and well recognised within the air transport industry. He enjoyed the course, describing it as a ‘once in a lifetime experience’. The course welcomes a diverse cohort of students from different countries who enjoy a rich course content and high quality modules; even better than Eren has expected, something that was enhanced by experienced guest speakers from the industry. Eren explained that the course went beyond teaching theory, with the cohort acquiring a vast amount of knowledge on the practical side too. Eren recognised the benefit of plentiful in-class teamwork and a group project which enabled them to develop excellent teamwork skills.
Besides his studies, Eren had a chance to fly on board the Cranfield National Flying Laboratory Classroom; another unforgettable experience.

He describes being a Cranfield alumnus as a privilege that only passionate and hardworking students can achieve.
All the effort the students put into studying at Cranfield pays back with the achievement of career goals that they are aspiring to:
I would like to continue my career in the air transport industry and achieve senior positions as many Cranfield alumni did. Cranfield alumni usually become role models in the industry and shape the future of the fields in which they are working. It is a good opportunity now and also a task for me to shape a sustainable future for the air transport industry. I have the goal of being a key policy maker to design the crucial policies to align the air transport industry with the global sustainability targets. What’s more, I would like to share all my experience with the future Cranfield University students. Once I gain extensive experience in the industry, I would like to be a regular guest lecturer at Cranfield University, and if possible, be a permanent lecturer in the future.
