Cambridge MPhil/Imperial MSc with 65% equivalent

I don’t know anyone who has graduated from either of these courses but from the MSc engineers I know at Imperial, most of them did strongly at undergrad (i.e. a good first mid/high 70s and higher), although it was a different course so hard to say (you’ll have to apply to find out).

For Cambridge MPhil, well an MPhil is a research degree so being academically capable is important, there are more factors, such as experience, knowledge on the area, your research proposal, what are the costs of the research, popularity & space in the lab, rapport with the the PI, a mid - 2.1 would probably be the minimum to be considered but your ability to get accepted will depend on the rest of the factors.

Thank you for the reply! The two masters I mentioned are actually taught masters geared towards professionals, so not research masters for potential academia. I was hoping my related work experience + dissertation would be useful in applications, to make up for my grades. Would appreciate any bits of knowledge/advice on admissions into taught masters programmes!
