MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Engineering is one of the most interesting subjects that we can study because it combines everything we learn at school in terms of physics, maths and computing, and it helps us realise how the real world actually works and how everything can be applied in practice which is very, very important. 

I like the practical element to the course - basically you can build something that’s going to work and everything you learn here is going to help you in a way or another, so it’s not as if you just solve physics or maths problems. We built a lot of robots in our second, third and fourth years and we actually saw them working. Coming straight from high school, I would never have imagined I would be able to build something that actually works so quickly.

Most of the courses I've taken in the last few years I've absolutely loved, so for me it is very, very hard to choose my favourite. You cannot develop a computer system without having a single interference and you can't develop robots or anything without a control system on top, and usually the control system nowadays is based on image processing.  So unless you integrate all of these three together you will never have a complete system.  I didn't really specialise in a particular area, I just generally know all of them.   I have a clear picture and this is definitely going to help me in my future career because it is going to be quite technology based.

Because Imperial is in London, it gives you lots of industry connections and various opportunities to go to events that being in other places you wouldn’t be able to. I love London, so being a student here it really gave me the opportunity to know it better and it has so many things to offer.
