Imperial Postgraduate Here- Ask me anything

Hello, SO i started my studies as a postgraduate student in the Natural Sciences department at Imperial College London for the term 14/15. I moved on to this masters straight after my undergraduate. So yeah you can ask me about anything regarding this place as a present or prospective student. And I will try to give a balanced picture (not the one you get to see in the open day tbh).

Lots of Lovex

Hiya Danny, I am an international student. But I did my undergraduate in a British University.

Hi, the interviews for maths are next week. I haven't received an invite neither have I received a rejection. Do you have any idea what the chances are of me getting an offer?

So I don't do maths but in my case I had my interview call like just a couple of days before the actual interview... And I found, I think, a week or two afterwards about my offer and its conditions. So not specific to you but keep your fingers crossed and mind open :smile:))) if you have applied here you are very likely to get somewhere good :smile: good luck!!
Hi,

Im applying for MSc Finance. I wanted to know about the life at Imperial, especially where do postgrads live and the partying (if there's any) and anything else you might want to share.

Hey there,

I am applying to do my masters in Petroleum Geology, and I'm just curious about the workload, lifestyle, and so on for a postgrad student. Will it be so hectic that I won't have time for myself? lol. Any insight would be useful, thanks!

Yes for sure with those grades plus internships. I completely my master's at Imperial in the same subject area last year so let me know if you have any questions about specific courses or Imperial in general.

How is the workload for a masters course. I currently hold an offer for MSc RMFE and I heard that the workload is insane.

Honestly I didn't find the workload that intense but I guess it depends on the course and to a certain extent the type of person you are. I was studying for an MRes which is purely research based and assessed by a thesis/viva examination so we didn't have formal exams or coursework. As you're a business school student I'm guessing the format of your master's is quite different to mine.

Good morning, I have applied for an MRes too and have done the interview 5 days ago. I have also got an offer for an MsC in the same subject in UCL. I would like to ask you about how many hours did you do in your research project, and about the possible job opportunities of an MRes. Is the MRes mainly focused to do a PhD or does it prepare you to work in industry too?

Thank you in advance!

Heya, I'm a student coming to Imperial this September. Do you know know much about accommodation in London? Have you heard any good/bad reviews on Park House in Earl's Court? It's about 20 mins' walk from the college.
