Imperial College London
speciality: Biological Sciences

Imperial is tough. It will work you hard; work hard, play harder. Imperial sets you up for life, from skills to networking opportunities from peers to faculty to job prospects. With more societies than any other university Imperial boasts a home for you.

The program has a holistic curriculum and encompasses the latest research and development. It is a great course for those who wish to specialise in a niche area in biomedical engineering. With the help of the faculty and super advanced infrastructure, all students are bound to succeed.

I am doing an MSc program. The teaching quality of Imperial College is high. Besides, the career support from the department is fantastic. The department holds career talks twice a week, introducing a lot of companies in different fields of the industry which gives an overview of directions and career paths for graduates. Consultation on career options is also available.

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.

Overall the university and the staff are of a high quality and have offered my support through my years here. My academic experience is significantly related to the chosen course which was a new one at time I joined. This has caused many problems regarding the administrative and organisational aspect of the course, despite very interesting and engaging contents. Apart from the academic side, I enjoyed my time at the university a lot, joining societies and making friends.

I think this university not only values their students academic development, but also their personal development. They focus on building personal skills such as interpersonal skills, time management, communication and teamwork skills, preparing them to enter the real world. They are also very keen to help out students in need and pay attention to mental health. Imperial always stays up to date with current technology and likes to be on the front lines, and it makes me really proud to be in a university like this.

Overall an excellent experience! During my time at Imperial, I was able to learn cutting edge science from world-leading experts, all while meeting amazing people from all walks of life. At times the workload was intense, but I felt that with the support of my friends and academic staff, this could be suitably managed. Imperial also has a reputation for being boring with no social life; however, I was able to join a range of different clubs and societies and enjoy the nightlife of London all while balancing my studies. The experience you get from Imperial is very much what you make it and the opportunities you want to get out of the university and London!

Imperial is a high intensity learning environment where students are expected to take initiative for their own learning. Because of this, there is a large emphasis on independent reading beyond the syllabus in addition to maintaining a firm grasp on the core lecture material. This makes Imperial a challenging but rewarding environment when success ensues. Students will feel that they have a comprehensive awareness of any topic in their area of specialism and can talk about many subjects with authority. This makes Imperial a world-class institution and prepares the students exceptionally well for life after university.

Being at the heart of London, ICL not only offers access to world-class facilities but provides students with many opportunities that they may not be afforded elsewhere. There are countless societies run by the diverse student body and there is an irrefutable sense of drive and passion for both the academic and social aspects of university life from both students and lecturers alike.
