by AnonymousHello, I recently received an offer from Imperial to study Design Engineering. I was wondering if any other people have also gotten an offer for the 2024 entry. Currently, I applied to only 3 unis so I was wondering if there are any other courses that are similar to Imperial's Design Eng. as I need 2 other choices. Thank you in advance.
Hey, I'm applying for the 2025 entry this year, how was the ESAT exam? I have no idea what to expect from it and I don't do further maths either, so was just wondering how you found it, and how important it was for your application?

by cocafiolaI submitted around 15th of October and got an interview invite exactly one week before the actual interview which was on Feb 1, so it might take a while

Hello, for the people who got an offer for design engineering, what a-levels did you do?
Also what super-curriculars did you do to show your interest in design engineering?

My offer matched the one the Imperial Website but I applied with 4 A-levels in total.
2.
I applied to the Cambridge Design (I am currently waiting to hear the results). I also applied to Baths for integrated design engineering.
3.
I believe my interview was on around 14th Dec.
hi, well done. I am looking to apply to these courses for 2025 entry, so very similar. idk what alevels you did, but i am going maths, furhter maths, physics and dt. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on your portfolio, etc, and your personal statement- how you wrote it to incorporate both the design course at cambridge and the des eng courses. thank you!

Hi everyone, I am planning to apply for Design Engineering for the 2025 entry. I'm currently doing the IB diploma, but I'm struggling a bit with my grades. My HL subjects are Math, Physics, and Economics, and I feel like, at best, I can only reach the lowest entry requirement. I'm also not particularly confident about my ESAT. Do you think there will still be a chance for me to get an interview? And could a strong portfolio perhaps improve my chances of receiving an interview or an offer? Thank you all in advance!

As someone who got an offer, I found that the portfolio had no impact on determining the chances of getting an interview. If I remember correctly, Imperial will not ask you to submit the portfolio prior to receiving an interview. It fact, the portfolio is even optional. However from my experiences, I did a little 5-7 min run-through of my portfolio which included traditional and digital forms of graphic design during the interview which was generally well-received. Alas, the portfolio is a really small part of the overall 20 min. interview.
Hence, while a portfolio does not affect your chances of getting an interview, it does help set you apart from the rest of the applicants. Hopes this help.

Here's the update. So I ended up getting offers from every Universities I applied for but I decided to commit to Imperial since I would be getting an engineering degree out of the program.
1.
My A-levels were Art, Com Sci, Physic and Maths. (It's quite a unique combination but I think it complemented each other quite well which showed through in my personal statement)
2.
Since I took A-level art most of my works were from my art coursework. I know that Cambridge isn't looking for a specific type of portfolio but rather a range of skills. (You can read this from the course website) For my portfolio, I had a bunch of oil paintings, life-drawings, pencil observations, landscapes, portraits and even digital pieces. I also included observations of mecha and machinery which were my interests at that time (you can see the correlation to engineering there) . As I felt that I was stronger in 2D works, I only included one 3D sculptural project, I completed last minute. The crucial part is that you can explain the thinking and meaning behind your pieces effectively when you asked to present them to the interviewer. The talking part was rather one-sided so I recommend you practice talking. On the other hand, my imperial portfolio was a reduced version of my Cambridge port. which included only works I thought were more relevant to design and engineering.

Good luck buddy. We didn't have to do ESAT last year so we have no idea. You might want to ask the other engineering departments for this one.

Hi, I am amazed you received the offer so soon; when was your interview? And when did you submit the application? Are you in IC now? How is it going?
