I’m pursuing MSc in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London and 2 months in, and I already feel that so much has been conveyed to us, students. It may sound cliché but at Imperial, there are loads of opportunities to learn the subject as well as explore new facets of yourself. The subjects are given a thorough engineering background check and the professors are amazing at communicating their lectures and giving insights from their own experience in the field.
The course is fast-paced and a student is expected to be able to cope with the pressure. In my opinion, it mimics a very real-world scenario. This helps us in becoming excellent time managers.
Campus life offers casual open spaces as well as an insane number of clubs and societies. They even have a society for scuba diving and flying. A master’s student has typically only a year at this landmark institute so it ultimately boils down to what the priorities are.
Coming to priorities, the college gives students ample opportunities to engage in active research projects as well as provide information about current careers in relevant industries.
Moreover, Imperial has set a standard by the way they have managed their blended learning approach during the pandemic. Imperial has ensured that students get in-person tutoring for their study groups while lectures have been made a bit flexible with online mode as an option.
