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.
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.
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.
Great reputation, alumni network, employee relations, quality of education, quality of peers, etc
Located in central London with work and research opportunities with other departments and universities. Ability to do a joint honours program for application based science
This was a natural extension of my role at Standard Chartered bank in the wealth space. I was from a marketing background working in finance and therefore needed a formal ground to progress in the field of wealth and finance. This degree was essential for my next step.
Imperial College London is ranked 8th globally. It is one of the most prestigious colleges and has high end research facilities. The MRes Cancer Biology is the most popular course and very competitive in terms of a research degree. I took up this course cause they offered 2 research projects and they have PhD studentships that are offered from the MRC (fully funded on home level with stipend).
I chose this university for the research facilities, reputation, and postgraduate success. In addition, I love London and was excited to be able to continue living there after growing up.
I grew up in British Education, and Imperial is ranked #2 in the UK for Computer Science. Furthermore, Imperial's employability ratings for Computing post-degree are extremely high, and London is a great city to live in. I also had a friend study at Imperial before me so from his experience I knew I'd have a good time.
