Hi all,

I've got admissions into the Ph.D. programmes at both Aston and Cranfield. However I can't decide between the two. I'm an international student so would like to hear about how natives think of these two business schools. Can anyone give a comparison between the two? Don't care about the locations just the academic side. Anyone who has done or is current doing a Ph.D. in business related subjects at either school can share some experiences?

Thanks

H

Hi Ric, I can't comment on the difference between the two institutions (hopefully someone else can help), however, one of the most important things is the right supervisor, see this: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/features/10-truths-a-phd-supervisor-will-never-tell-you/2005513.article

Thank you Hugh. That's very helpful. In addition, do you know whether the reputation of the institution where I complete a PhD would have an impact on an academic career?

It's hard to say tbh. Ask on this forum the same question in your opening:
