The Official "I'm going to Imperial Thread"

I've been trying to read all the threads in this sub forum but I can't make a list of all the memebers going to Imperial this year, and we arent all in the official thread in the general uni stuff forum. So could you be so kind as to post your name and subject here if your going to Impreial next year. I'm probably going to comfirm IC as my firm tomorrow, and just want to see a cross-section of the students I'll be going to IC with.

In true Adhsur "styly" here is a list of those who have said already that they are going to IC, and what they are going to study. If you want to be added just post in the thread.

MSci Physics with a Year in Europe (Germany).
Though I've said it many times :tongue:

And I've been keeping an eye on the forum, just haven't had the time to actively post :smile:
:confused: Can somebody explain to me the differences of MEng and MSc and even MPhil?? :confused:

Thanks in advance!!!

It's the difference in subject; engineering, science, or 'philosophy' (read an arts subject). They're all of equal ranking though, all Masters degrees (after 4 years of study at uni).

Joint Maths and Computer. Probably firm.

Not sure still whether Ill go for JMC @ Imperial or MMath @ Warwick.
Have to see, London would be good tho..
Any comments on this, warwick or imperial?

But, I got offers for MPhil programs in engineering depts!!?? In addition, I came across the idea of 3-year undergrad and the 4th year being awarded a MEng degree in UK??!! The degree titles I've seen in north america are different again, MEng = taught masters (1 year) and MSc = research masters (2 years)!!??

I am totally confused.......... :confused: :confused:

MEng is Master of Engineering, where MSci is Master of Science. they are four-year courses. but are not simply 3 years undergraduate + 1 year master. in MEng or MSci some master level taught courses may be offered during the first three years. see also: http://www.qaa.ac.uk/crntwork/benchmark/mast/mengintro.htm

in addition, as i know, the MEng course in some US universities is just a master degree(2 yrs).

And actually "MSci" = Master IN Science
and refers to a four-year undergraduate program
Whereash "MSc" = Master OF Science and is taught as a graduate course.
For example you can do a 3-year BSc (Bachelor of Science) degree and
specialise at another institution with a 1-year MSc degree.

I've got an ABC conditional for MSci Geology at IC/RSM.
