Imperial College MRes Biomedical Research

Hi everyone 👋🏻 I am an oversea applicant currently applying to UK postgraduate programs. Recently, I am lucky enough to have received a conditional offer for this program (Cardiovascular and Respiratory). I am just wondering if anyone who has done the MRes program before can share their experience and thoughts about it?

1. How competitive is the program if I am aiming to be a top 5% student in the cohort and getting a publication?

2. How do locals think about Imperial? My parents prefer Oxbridge (lower fees & traditional mindset) but PG application registration opens in Sep25, which imperial semester also starts in Sep25. I have also applied to King’s College MSc pharmacology program. If I receive an offer for it as well, should I still go for imperial?

3. Employability in terms of getting into pharmaceutical industries? Or even a PhD in Oxbridge? I am not expecting to land a job in the UK given my international status…

Sorry for the long text! Thank you everyone :smile:
