The city of Milton Keynes is the largest urban area in the UK without a dedicated residential university. However, in partnership with Cranfield University, the Council is developing plans for MK:U, a new city centre university.
The city is also home to the Open University and Cranfield University, an internationally renown postgraduate university, which is located 7miles outside of the city centre. These institutions attract a diverse group of talented individuals who may be looking for career opportunities in the area.
