Through-life System Sustainment

• A commercial approach to excellence: Organisations seek out streamlined processes to enable them to be more efficient, improve quality and be more cost effective. The Through-life System Sustainment course brings together expertise across several disciplines to inform industry and help organisations to stay ahead of their competitors.
• Learning from the best academics: You will be taught by industry-active research academics with an established track record in product-service and maintenance systems, and through-life capability management. Industry practitioners teach alongside academic specialists from Cranfield and the Defence Academy.
• Outstanding facilities: A vast range of specialist software applications are available for use, such as Witness, SAP and CAD.
• Flexible study options: This course allows you to fit your studies around your existing life and work commitments so you can gain a postgraduate qualification while continuing your career. Projects can be undertaken with your organisation offering additional benefits to your employer.
• Research informed teaching: Our institutional strength is in aerospace and defence manufacturing, engineering design, industrial automation and sustainable manufacturing systems. Projects are chosen to ensure delegates are able to relate the content directly to the performance of the business and its future success.
• Networking opportunities: Our considerable network of contacts – both in the organisations we work with and in the network you will be part of with your fellow students and as one of our alumni - gives you the opportunity to build useful connections.

Our courses are designed to meet the training needs of industry and have a strong input from experts in their sector. Students who have excelled have their performances recognised through course awards. The awards, presented on Graduation Day, are provided by high profile organisations and individuals, and are often sponsored by our industrial partners.
