M.Sc Digital Chemistry with AI and Automation - Batch of 2026

4.1

It has been a rewarding and fun experience.

Tips: There was no cultural shift as I lived in the UK for 14 years previously, and I got my Bachelors from the UK too. Overall I am satisfied with my university experience. The job market is hard, but with hard-work and networking opportunities it is possible to get a job after studies.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Imperial College fosters a great learning environment, though the learning is fast-paced, and professors will help you if you fall behind. There is a lot of self-learning, though professors will help you along every step of the way. The faculty is generally diverse.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): A degree from a Russell Group university in London will help a lot in making you more employable and expose you to employers and opportunities a lot, though it is still difficult to become a citizen due to the UK government making it harder to obtain citizenship and increasing the hiring cost for employers. I am already settled in the UK too.

MSc Environmental Technology - Batch of 2026

Imperial College helps you prepare for life post-academics.

Tips: I think students should sign up for as much as they can professionally, academically and in terms of hobbies, as they can, as Imperial is fortunate enough to have access to a great number of resources and networking events. There is only so much you can learn in your course; the rest is up to you to follow up on. I did not receive a scholarship; however, Imperial College does offer the opportunity to apply for one. I was quite satisfied with my shift to this country and felt like there was no significant cultural shift for me personally; however, that can vary from person to person.

Likes (Public transportation): The main transportation methods to campus are by bus and the tube. However, Imperial College also offers a free shuttle running to the campuses at South Kensington and White City. The tube can be expensive after a while, so I would recommend using the bus more often. Depending on how far you live from campus, you can also walk or buy a cycle, which will help you save money in the long term, as London is a cyclable city.

Dislikes (Value for money): I felt my course was quite broad and not as specialized as I would have liked. In the second term of my course, you get to choose a specialisation, which was more interesting and relevant than the first term; however, coming from a similar background in my undergraduate studies, I would have liked more hands-on experience.

MSc Applied Genomics - Batch of 2025

4.3

Challenging but Rewarding

Tips: The faculty members are extremely accessible and supportive, providing a platform for discussing concepts and research ideas. This course consists of lectures, practical classes in genomics and is predominantly a research-based program with faculty members coming from different backgrounds.

Likes (Public transportation): Excellent transport facilities are available in Imperial through the tube and buses. It becomes very easy for someone to travel across London because of excellent connectivity that is facilitated through these transport means. There are also free transport services provided by the university through shuttles between campuses.

Dislikes (Safety): The campus of Imperial is safe, with frequent security patrols, closed-circuit television cameras, and various safety applications. Nevertheless, there are cases of theft in the city of London. Though I have never personally experienced that problem, it was mentioned to me by my friends.

Best experience of my life

Tips: I am extremely happy with my course and country. As I got a full tuition fees scholarship it was very helpful and every year they do have a commonwealth scholarship for students which is worth applying for. The transition was easy if your adaptable.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Travelling is extremely convenient it is very well connected and most of the buses and underground trains are almost on time with moderate delays. It is super convenient to table to the uni and they also run shuttle services between their campuses.

Dislikes (Safety): There have been lots of instances about pick pocketing and daylight stabbing in London city. Though I have not experienced it first hand hearing about my friends experiences. However the campus was quite safe with frequent campus patrolling and apps.

MSc Environmental Technology - Batch of 2025

Imperial College London -MSc Environmental Technology - Mature student experience

Tips: I was awarded the Chevening scholarship, with an allowance of 1698 GBP. My tuition fee was also covered. The weather is much colder and harsher, and it's a little more isolated than in India. Students need to make sure to take measures to stay warm (physically and emotionally). Being able to cook saves a lot of money and is healthier. My university and course were good, but I would've preferred having more contact classes. And for mature students with work experience, the course may feel a little underwhelming.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty were very approachable and knowledgeable. There was a lot more emphasis on discussions, debates and understanding multiple perspectives. We were encouraged to think and develop an opinion. Though the contact hours were fewer, I managed to learn a lot.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus opportunities are limited. While it is definitely manageable to work part-time and study, finding opportunities was challenging. I did apply to certain part-time jobs, but I didn't receive any response. Trying to find jobs through people you know or your ethnicity may help? But because I had a scholarship covering my expenses, I didn't try harder.
