A dozen women from Imperial College Business School's MBA class of 2010 and friends gathered at the Windows Bar on the 28th floor of London's Park Lane Hilton last Friday for some time off from the intense one-year program. Organizer Claire Suo-Cockerton, from Canada, says that since Imperial doesn't have a dedicated women's club, she's keen to arrange some women-focused events over the next few months.
Coincidentally the drinks were the same day as London Business School's annual Women In Business in conference, which accounted for the lack of LBS women in attendance.
They missed a great group: enjoying cucumber cocktails and stunning views of London were a former marketing executive for NBC, a surgeon-turned-social entrepreneur and the founders of a cross-party forum for women who want to discuss politics.

Diversity and Professional Development

Furthermore, the Careers team at Imperial is second to none as directors help guide students to the career paths of their dreams.
Business School
Imperial college business school has amazing facilities, amazing staff. I particularly like the business school cafe although it would be nice if they added a few more power sockets in the open space and heating for winter.
The course is really good too. Very interactive classes and highly diverse environment.
Career Services
Very strong university with good quality faculty and a very strong career services team that prepared students well for the jobs market.
Very nice facilities in the city center. Good sessions organised with employers.
Chinese students majored in English- now strategic marketing
My undergraduate major was English back in China and now an MSc student in strategic marketing at Imperial. For Chinese students who share similar experiences with me, you can get as much/deep as you want about marketing with some challenging group works and inspiring lectures.

Academic Modules and Environment
The program at Imperial College Business School is exceptionally informative and beneficial for students. Each session is not only engaging but also inspiring, fostering a dynamic learning environment. I appreciate how the content is carefully tailored to cover complex yet practical topics, ensuring that we can apply what we learn in real-world scenarios. We have several classes each week, and the structure includes a mix of group and individual assessments. This approach not only enhances our understanding but also encourages collaboration and critical thinking among peers.
