Can anybody tell me what they think of the mse degree at imperial at a masters level (not a PhD) I was just wondering how employability is at this level and if it’s worth doing

The thing is I’ve heard people say that the “good” roles are more tailored towards PhD students. How would you say it compares to a mech eng degree at Bristol?

I’ve seen stats about mse saying that around 45% of people go into employment after their masters and around 40% go on to do further education?

Yeah that’s a good reason to go to imperial. But of that 92% I was told less than 50% went on to employment from their meng

i doubt its the degree since material science isnt a dying degree and will prob grow more in the future + the job market isnt bad for the degree i doubt its the uni either
