What students say about Imperial College London


Likes

  • I believe that the curriculum at Imperial for Medical Biosciences is one of the most up-to-date in the world.
  • The college has its own self-reliant career department, with well-connected alumni around the globe, giving great chances to the students to place themselves.
  • One of the best in the world, there are quite many opportunities there but a lack of time to pursue them.
  • Private student accommodation options are available, ranging from GBP 800-1400 per month, depending on the area and preferences.
  • The admin team, especially, was extremely approachable and, in most cases, was quick to respond to queries and issues from various students.
  • The professor was very welcoming and guided me towards resources to find good accommodation.

I chose Imperial because of its ranking and because I wanted to gain experience in coding, which this course revolves around. I knew studying in MSc would help me position myself better in the market. I chose to come to this university because it is in one of the best parts of London and hence would be safe. The university is working towards sustainability and business plays a major role in this, this course had electives that fit well with what I want to do in the future like sustainable finance, fintech, analytics, banking, innovation and Python for finance. There were multiple career fairs and many alumni events that gave us exposure. They also held lots of social events in museums and Hyde Park to network with one another while also having a good time.

Dislikes:

  • Huge cohort size, can be hard to stand out. null
  • London is an extremely expensive city. The visa restrictions and the current job market does't make getting a job easy. null

I picked the university cause it was highly ranked globally and in my course. Additionally, the course structure covered all the topics I wanted to study and London was one of the top cities I was looking at and wanted to be in. My experience was great, met loads of interesting people and felt very intellectually stimulated.

9.0 /10

Dislikes:

  • Curriculum is more theoretical and it could be more practical with hands-on experiences rather than just focusing on writing reports. null
  • This course is quite hectic which is stressful. null

I chose Imperial College for its fantastic teaching and research reputation. Apparently, it has just been crowned the 2nd best university in the world. In addition to that the university has very modern facilities, an overall diverse academic environment and good industry connections. This decision was reinforced when I contacted several ex-students and they all responded favorably. The UK made sense as I wanted to be in an English-speaking country too. From the relevance of subjects to my career aspirations (I was moving from consulting into marketing, and excited about the prospect of being taught by who were arguably the best in their field) It has had its moments but for the most part it has been great.

I chose this college as I was particularly looking for a course in the International Management program, and this college was an ideal choice for me as their curriculum involves both theoretical and practical training. Also, Imperial College is a highly renowned college and is known for its academic excellence in various fields. My course had students from different parts of the world; therefore, it was an enriching experience getting to interact with them and to be able to learn about different cultural perspectives.

Dislikes:

  • Cost of living is too high. null
  • Workload is extreme sometimes. null
  • As I am introvert, so it isn't easy to socialize with other students. null

I chose Imperial College London because it was my dream university, and the MSc Science Media Production course was exactly what I had been aiming for since my first year of undergrad. Even though I was accepted to other universities like UCL, University of Edinburgh, Manchester, and Sheffield, Imperial stood out because of its prestigious ranking as the 2nd best university in the world and its strong reputation with recruiters and companies. The program is unique and aligns perfectly with my career goals. Overall, my experience here has been fantastic—combining world-class teaching, a vibrant and diverse student body, and a prime location in central London makes it an ideal place for my studies and future aspirations.

Dislikes:

  • It has a very small campus compared to my undergraduate and no accommodation by the university for post-graduates. While the university provides a lot of support for career development, placements could really help students. null

I have had a great experience overall. I found a great research project I wanted to work on along with a variety of courses that helped me upskill myself and grow in many domains of my field. The only drawback is since it is a 1 year course everything happens really quickly and you need to be prepared all the time.

Dislikes:

  • One important thing that I would want Imperial to offer to Master students is that 24*7 permit in labs, because I sometimes wanted to work late at nights. However, it requires presence of a senior lab member which is always not possible. null

My overall experience was really good and I have learnt a lot of new things in a new country. I would say this was once in a life-time opportunity for me. Just the accomplishment of able to complete a master's degree from such a reputed university (ranked 6th in the world) is a dream for me while also gaining lot of research skills and experience.

Dislikes:

  • Imperial College London is in the heart of the London. Living and accommodation costs are vey high here. null
  • This is something that is not in the hands of university team but there is separate student financial team here that supports students in need of any financial assistance. null
  • Also, London cannot be described better without mentioning about its road traffic. null

So far my experience at Imperial was very pleasant. The Professor was very welcoming and guided me to resources to find a good accommodation. I meet with the Professor every week to update the status of the research at the direction it has to take in the future. It was overwhelming with a lot of new changes for me as this was my first international trip from India.
