Imperial MSc Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management 2017/2018

Didn't see much discussion about this yet.

I applied Nov 1st, my references were sent in by Nov 8, and did the interview on November 21. Just waiting to hear back now.

Anyone else apply and/or heard anything?

Good luck with your result!
I need to complete my interview within the next two weeks. Can you give me any suggestions on how to prepare for it? Are the questions competency based or technical (regarding our entrepreneurial ideas, etc)?
hello everyone
I also need to finish my interview within 2 weeks.

I also applied for the same program last week. How long did it take to get the interview application?

And also I have heard that the questions are straigh forward, asking you about why you chose the university and the course. How is your expertise/background is related to it, what are your plans etx.

The interview is exactly as they tell you - on an online platform. There are 5 questions (one written) and you have one minute to answer the verbal questions. I saw posts of others that said they were just asked generic "Why Imperial" "why IEM" but I did not have any like that; I have heard they customize the questions to each individual applicant. I had questions about working in teams and taking risks and my career goals.

Best of luck and make sure to let us know if you get into the program!

Hey, thank you for letting me know. Just a quick follow up, did they actually quote your application? Like did they specify any section of the application itself? Have you heard any replies as of yet?

Thanks!
Hey there!
I just applied for the program almost a month ago and still waiting for a response. How long did it take you to get invited for an online interview?

Nope, they did not quote anything. And still no word from admissions yet...

I applied on a Tuesday and got the invite to interview that same friday, but don't think that means anything for your chances, just depends how often they sit to review the apps. Good luck!

Wow, how good for you. Congrats! Hope I could get a return soon. It is really difficult to wait. This is the 30th day since I applied. Getting nervous.

Hi Guys,

I had my interview yesterday. My connection messed up so I had to do my last question twice and it was a different one both times. My questions were:

What is your biggest hurdle when undertaking your MSc, and how will you overcome them?

How do you spend your time outside you academics or Work Experience?

You are leading a project that is running out of resources, how will you convice an investor to commit more resources?

[Written] How will you be an active member of the Imperial Community?

What is required to be a successful entrepreneur?

[Repeat Question] Describe a company that has shown entrepreneurial spirit?

Hope it helps! Good Luck :smile:
