Imperial College London (reviews)

Exceptional location right in the heart of London, spread across multiple campuses eg. St Mary’s Hospital, South Kensington and Charing Cross Campus. This makes everyday different and exciting as there are lectures in different places. The course is very well structured with professors that hold regular last minute tutorials and sessions for students to learn and actually engage with the material. As expected, people here can be quite competitive however there are plenty of social opportunities with the UK’s largest ever fresher’s fayre hosted every year.

The course was world-class. It was taught by industry experts who are world-renowned. In the first and second year you may not be learning the most up to date topics yet, but it is important to build up the base of your knowledge so you can properly learn about the newest and most state of the art topics in the field. I found the course full of challenging yet rewarding coursework. You will spend a lot of time in labs working but it is well worth it. The graduates are highly desired and will almost guarantee you a job.

When I first applied I knew it was going to be tough but I did not imagine it would have been this tough. There were a lot of coursework and practicals. I learned the most when working with my group mates. The professors were also top-notch. They are all very qualified and gives engaging lectures. You will learn to time manage or you will fall behind.

Imperial College London is a wonderful university. The College is located in the heart of London and provides students with an incredible experience. The facilities in Imperial College London are incredibly up to date and provide me a wonderful learning experience. #LGBTQ

Imperial is located in South Kensington, one of the nicest locations in London. The accommodation in the southside and eastside while quite pricey but is very nice. Every Tuesday there is a farmer market on campus for us to enjoy. Being a student at Imperial is quite comfortable.
The professors are world-class, the lectures are engaging. They know what they are talking about and they are all engaging in first-class research. This university is quite a research-heavy institute so the students learn about the newest trends in their academic field.

The course was very practical, we had a lot of coursework was relevant to the degree. This means the graduates are highly desired after graduation.

There isn’t much of a work/life balance. They throw a lot of work at you and you barely have enough time to finish all of it.

I do know people in different courses have a better work schedule, but not in computing.

Imperial College will work you. They have a world-class course that starts you off teaches you the most relevant technology topics. The professors are extremely high calibre. They know what they are talking about. You will have to work hard just to get by, and to excel you will need to keep up and do a lot of extra work. They are famous for giving out long and difficult group projects. These projects will test your practical ability when it comes to programming. They also help you develop good coding habits and prepare you for the industry.
Once you graduate, you are a highly desire graduate. You are almost guaranteed to land a job.

Imperial has excellent programmes that equip students for industry and research. The competitive environment will keep you on your toes and encourage your best effort, but it can get overwhelming for some people. Overall, I highly recommend the university for anyone looking for a culturally diverse and academically driven college experience.

Excellent education and teaching, a lot of extra curricular activities that you can take part in, including Tamil society, where I have taken part in dance events such as Mega Maalai. Really enjoy the social side but the academics are challenging and can be a heavy work load

Amazing facilities and resources to the student. Open to everyone and helping students a lot from career services to mental health issues. Hard, but the knowledge you get is directly applied in the industry.
