A Glimpse into the life of an Imperial College London Student

A Glimpse into the life of an Imperial College London Student

As an Imperial College London Alumni, I recall entering the massive, modern and brilliantly designed University building located in the heart of Central London on South Kensington. Amazed by the conventional look and feel of the building, Imperial instilled the desire to do great things within me from the very start.

With an in depth focus on mainly science, engineering, medicine and business, Imperial ensures that students in their respective fields are pushed to their maximum in order to achieve their full potential and make their mark in the world. Ranked as one of the best UK universities and 5^th in the world according to 2017 Times Higher Education, Imperial attracts a dynamic student community and encourages team work from the beginning of the course thereby enabling students to absorb and spread knowledge through their interactions. The diverse and driven student community is one thing that kept me motivated constantly; trying and wanting to do my best. Being one of the only two Pakistani’s on the Masters Of Science course (MSc Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management) enabled me to interact with peers from multiple nationalities and grow my network drastically. The ambitious mindset coupled with the hardworking and dedicated nature of majority of the students who understood the importance of balancing work and social activities allows students at the university to thrive academically and socially.

Everyday at Imperial was challenging and exciting and the approachable and friendly program team and professors encouraged me to question every doubt I had about any module. Thus increasing my thirst for knowledge. From a supportive academic environment and global opportunities within the course including a business tour to India, the university combines theory with practical real life experience.

Imperials identity as an engine of innovation and motto of turning students into problem solvers for global issues allows every student to connect with the other and work as a team towards a broader mission. Imperial offered me a life changing experience. Not only did it allow me to meet some of my closest friends but also stirred up the entrepreneurial spirit within me by instilling confidence, passion and the inclination to leave a foot-print in the global community.
