Strong academic rigor.

Tips: Imperial has a rigorous and fast paced environment that requires strong time management. You have to adapt to the diverse international cohort. The discussion style of teaching is like a cultural shift but is quite enriching. Feel free to look out for extracurriculars.

MSc Economics & Strategy for Business - Batch of 2022

4.4

Welcoming and friendly campus.

Tips: Be prepared to dive into the city life of London alongside the campus experience offered by Imperial. A wonderful atmosphere to learn on a personal and professional level and a journey of growth for students. Lots of guidance in applying for internships and mentorships. The experienced careers guidance team helps to find opportunities perfect to build your profile that is best suited for the roles candidates are looking for and future prospects after graduation, too.

Dislikes (Safety): The city of London is unsafe. However, Imperial College does try to offer as many options to overcome these difficulties as possible. They have numerous hotlines and safety measures but there are some pickpockets in London city, not necessarily close to the college but all through the city.

MSc Strategic Marketing - Batch of 2026

Intense, world class, and demanding.

Tips: Before joining students should know that this college is academically intense fast-paced and highly competitive. You need strong time management, self-discipline and comfort with ambiguity. There's a little hand-holding. The workload can feel overwhelming if you come in expecting a relaxed or overly social academic culture. The transition was challenging but manageable. Academically expectations were much higher than in my previous education. Culturally, the shift was real. Classrooms are diverse, discussions are direct and independence is assumed. Living in London also requires adjusting to high cost, a fast routine and a very individualistic lifestyle. I did not avail of a scholarship. Scholarships here are limited, highly competitive and often merit-based or need-based. Allowances, when available, usually cover partial tuition or fixed grants rather than full living expenses, so financial planning is critical. Satisfaction is high with the university and course due to global reputation, faculty quality and exposure. The country offers strong career opportunities but the cost of living and pressure can reduce day to day comfort. This experience plays off long-term but it's not an easy ride. Research course structure deeply before accepting. Budget realistically for London. Build academic and professional resilience early.

3.6

Diverse and helpful faculty.

Tips: It is a cultural shift from India for sure. Because here, we are not just in one of the most competitive colleges in the world, you are also cooking, travelling, cleaning etc. Basically, cut your time from that. I did not get any scholarships, but I am very satisfied with Imperial.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are very approachable; they have office hours and then you can email them wherever. The teaching method is very much a discussion, in class activities and discussions. The teaching faculty is very diverse, although I see a lot of American faculty members in my course, though.

Dislikes (Student Life): I spend my day between meetings with my syndicate group. Which is generally a group of 3-5 people from different countries. And projects most of the time. I enjoy the variety of food, infrastructure and library here. Events are networking with a lot of societies, etc.

MSc Environmental Technology - Batch of 2024

Exhilarating learning experience.

Tips: It will be a very extensive academic experience with fast paced learning and skill development initiatives. This approach is often best to get us ready for the corporate world after we graduate. I'd say it teaches a lot about balancing things and prioritising what's important.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty was world class including international lawyers global leaders as guest lecturers, as well as highly experienced professors with intensive academic experience. Truly a wonderful experience interacting and working with them on various projects and endeavours.

Dislikes (Safety): A lot of stabbing and mobile snatching incidents happened around my accommodation and university, which led me to rate 3 on safety. I had heard many of my friends mention certain areas and times when I shouldn't be out, and one of them even got robbed in an alleyway.

Is Imperial better than Oxford?

Answered a month ago

I've seen this kind of Imperial vs Oxford question come up a lot, and I think the confusion is understandable. On paper, both look exceptional, so it's tempting to search for a single “better” answer. In reality, that framing usually causes more stress than clarity.
