Msc Management - Imperial

Hello everyone,

I will graduate in September (MSc Management 2014/2015), so I won't need my books anymore. I can sell you the titles required for ACRA (Michael Jones, Accounting, 3rd Edition) £25, Corporate Finance (Hiller at al.) £15 and Business Economics (Sexton, The Exploration of Economics) £20. Moreover, if you are going to choose the Digital Business Pathway, you will need (Jordan - Information, Technology and Innovation) £15. In order to make your life easier, I can give you scripts, exam notes and lecture materials for £30. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hello! I got an interview too. Completed it last night and was slightly surprised at the format. Four basic pre-recorded questions, such as "demonstrate cases of leadership", and one written question. Unsurprising. However, what I wasn't prepared for was the sheer lack of time/preparation on blind questions. 20 seconds to read/think of an answer and 60 seconds to record a response. The whole thing is over in around 15 mins, but it feels like you've been through 60 with Mike Tyson. Very nerve-wracking and perhaps even more so for people who are from a Humanities background and in full-time jobs with a limited time to dedicate. Nevertheless, pleased to have done it and fingers-crossed.

I understand the merits of a virtual interview in terms of getting to know a candidate on a basic level and assessing communication skills, but to remove any conversational aspect seems to devalue the process as a determinable and accurate assessment of one's personality.

Awaiting feedback and response. Any ideas on timeframe for this?

hello! Yours sound similar to my case! Completely agree that the platform is such a nerve wrecking (but I applied to Msc Innovation, entrepreneurship and management though)
I had this video interview on 31 Dec, haven't heard back any response since.
When did you do yours?

Hello,

I got the interview today. Did you do it already? and how was it?
I'm very anxious at the idea of talking to a computer instead of a real person

there will be 4 questions in total, 3 spoken and 1 written answer.
The questions are about how is your leadership (i.e. given the situation, and ask how you gonna solve it), how related of your previous degree to the programme, what do you do outside curriculum.
My advice would be to get familiar to the platform! Go log in to KiraTalent site and you can rehearse the procedure there.

And I haven't heard anything back from Imperial yet, it has been a month since the interview!

Good luck!

Appreciate if any current students in the msc management course can advise on the the work placement option in the electives does include internships with areas other than consulting (i.e. ibd)
