Spindler has established a working relationship with Cranfield School of Management, allowing our clients access to a large talent pool, which refreshes every 12 months. The UK based and world renowned business school has recently been ranked 3rd in the world by the Wall Street Journal Survey of full time, one year MBA Programmes.
Michele Gray, Head of Careers Business Development in the Career Development Service at Cranfield School of Management says:
“Cranfield is host annually to an international mix of students from the UK, India, Europe, Russia, Latin America, S.E. Asia, China, the Middle East, Canada/US and Africa. Known as a general management school the sector experience of our MBAs prior to studying at Cranfield can span: IT, finance, consulting, legal, retail, FMCG, construction, shipping, Energy, Automotive and NGO.
The average work experience of Cranfield's MBA students is six years and the minimum requirement is three years experience to be accepted onto the course. Our students therefore stand out to recruiters as having more experience than many other Business Schools; they have gravitas, people management skills and have demonstrated responsibility, in many cases, for multi-site and cross functional operations globally, at middle to senior management level.
Our Alumni, of which we have more than 12,000 worldwide, now work in senior positions across all sectors around the world. Below are a few well known names:
