That is another option.

I am just highlighting that even a 'general bachelors at Oxford plus a specialised postgrad from a Big City universitity' is better than a 'specialist bachelors from Imperial' for anyone worried about specialisation.

No one with ambition should choose Imperial over Oxford for any course.


Again, more nonsense.

I want to know what this "big city" crap is

That's only your opinion, not a fact


I suggest you go and have a look at the alumni with such profiles and find out it is a fact.

What's silly about the argument? Everything written on that reply is near enough fact, the only real point of argument is whether Oxford have an alum more significant than Gandhi.

Gervais, Nolan, Cold Play, Penrose, Koizumi are all alive. Even the person who created League Tables (Harvey Goldstein) went to UCL.

You have a Hawking, some politicians - most of which aren't considered highly during their time, and Emma Watson, who, by your definition doesn't count, since she's a drop out and you said "graduates"

You've already been told by people how silly you're being by placing Oxford as the be all and all, so now you've restored to being fickle, by changing it to alumni, to which you still can't provide an actual argument - resorting to brief answers that really don't adequately defend your viewpoint.


Gervais and co are better alumni than Prime Ministers and co?

"By my definition"? What definition did you see me give on alumni?

Sorry, but I don't waste my time with the severely intellectually challenged when I can see it.

Nonsense is when you have no counter-argument but still feel the need to respond defiantly.

Where's your data to show Imperial engineering grads failing at life compared to Oxford?

Even in general terms...

Yes, their "outcomes" are better as you say - more money, more fame.

You didn't give a definition to alumni, but did define better outcomes as being solely based on alumni.

You got shutdown by multiple-people - even the OP who's Ox calibre declined what you had to say

First of all, please highlight to me where I used the term "failing" to refer to Imperial students.

Lol!

And so?

Your point is?

Still waiting for your reason for excluding Imperial from your "Big City" master's universities.

That is your highlighting of where I stated Imperial students are failing?

No. It's highlighting you ignored my earlier question.

If you don't understand the chart and the point then I can't help you. Sorry.

So you justify lying on me by not answering your question?
when people want to go into engineering, don't they often do physics or maths for their undergrad degree and then do a masters in engineering?

Clearly you have no good points to counteract what I've said.

Good day.

I have no points to offer to persistently stupid and unreasoned points.

As I said earlier (after observing your points): "Sorry, but I don't waste my time with the severely intellectually challenged when I can see it."

Good day.

Not usually. The vast majority of students aspiring to be engineers will do an undergrad engineering course (BEng), and many (most?) of them will stay on and complete their MEng.

It's certainly possible to do an engineering MSc after a physics or maths undergrad but it's not that common a route.

What would be the point in providing one? Has anything you've posted in this thread ever been relevant to materials science and engineering?
