Student review [#11155] for Mechanical Engineering
at Imperial College London

Imperial College London is an amazing university in terms of reputation and opportunities. From amazing research to great opportunities within your field or even in finance or banking, Imperial opens some of the best and most exciting doors for you after graduation. But this does come at a price, the workload is some of the highest there is even within top ranking universities. Some people do struggle with mental health issues due to the pressure and is is advisable that you seek help if you ever struggle to cope. The university does have a good team of counselors and looks to help students if they take the first step and try to raise awareness. Imperial College expects their students to fully commit to their course and come out with a very large amount of knowledge unlike other universities where although students have a high workload, the diploma at imperial is earned through gaining knowledge rather than simply passing exams and forgetting about it as you go through. You will be asked to learn on what has previously been taught. Furthermore Imperial has a great load of different societies so that offer anything from light opera, to ice hockey, rugby or robotics.
