History

The University was formed in 1946 as the College of Aeronautics on the former Royal Air Force base of RAF Cranfield[6] which opened in 1937. (See also entries on Harold Roxbee Cox, Sir Stafford Cripps and Roy Fedden, all individuals associated with the foundation of the original Collegge of Aeronautics). Between 1955 and 1969 a period of diversification took place. In 1967 the college presented the Privy Council with a petition for the grant of a Royal Charter along with a draft charter for a new institution to be called Cranfield Institute of Technology. The Cranfield Institute of Technology was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1969, giving the institution its own degree-awarding powers. “RAF” redirects here. ...

Since then the former National College of Agricultural Engineering established at Silsoe near Luton, Bedfordshire, during the 1950's, was incorporated.

RMCS, whose roots can be traced back to 1772, is now a part of the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom and now forms the Defence College of Management and Technology, known as 'DCMT'. In 1993 the Royal Charter changed the institution's name to Cranfield University.
