Good uni

Great teaching quality and industry annotation. Best location in the world: safe, fun & splendid.

Studying at Imperial College Business School for my Master's in Economics & Strategy for Business was an incredible experience. The program pushed me to think critically and strategically while offering the perfect blend of academic rigor and practical application. I was inspired by the diverse, driven cohort and had the chance to collaborate with brilliant peers from around the globe. The faculty's expertise and guidance truly enhanced my learning, and the school's location in the heart of London made the experience even more vibrant and enriching. It was a transformative journey that broadened my perspective and prepared me for real-world challenges.

Great place to meet like minded STEM people.

Top ranking of uni is the best in it in addition to diversity. However, supervision is not the best and facilities are not thatgreat. Also, the campus doesn't have spacious green area at all. Buildings are old and suffer from aging

Everthingis great at Imperial

The university is great to study at with lots of events and societies to attend. The teaching is excellent however the course is quite intense meaning you have to spend a lot of time studying leaving less time to socialise.

You pay a lot for a course which is barely structured. For each module, they just invite PhD or postdocs to talk about their (vaguely) relevant research to the module, and a very small part of it is dedicated to barely acceptable standards of teaching. The students mostly do the learning themselves by reading at home, and guessing what the assignments are actually asking us to do. The admin team do everything they can to NOT give the students what they needed. I tried to make an application for mitigating circumstances due to mental health reasons, and I was told that I was not allowed to do it unless it passed through my department for "filtering". I was reluctant, but had no choice but to attend a meeting with them in which I felt like I wasn't believed. One of them told me she completed her entire education and never had to take a break, insinuating I should do the same. I looked for the student support email on the university, but there was none. If students need support, everything literally has to pass through their department. I was embarrassed because one of those people was a teaching staff member. I also felt misunderstood by both of these people, but I had no choice, it had to go through them. In the end, it was approved to pass to the mysterious and invisible student support department, and I was given approval on the condition that I attend regular meetings with my department about my progress. I was so stressed about this that I decided to drop out of my course. I have now been waiting 4 months and still haven't received the certificate I completed (PGCert) or my tuition fee refund, which I paid in full in advance. Guys, don't go to a university just because of its name. Make sure it's a place you can actually learn things and be supported. This university does not deserve half of the amount they charge per year for the course, and they don't treat their students with as much respect as they deserve as customers, let alone simply as human beings. That being said, I'm sure that students' experiences vary based on their department, but I think that there should be a central student support system where students can get unconditional and confidential support, away from their department.
