Anything that starts with Imperial should honestly rebrand.

As someone that studied abroad in London during undergrad and did a US MBA, it won't help you in the US. Most people don't know Imperial at all, maybe have heard of it but that's it.

In London, only LBS or LSE really have any name recognition generally. MBA wise, most other MBAs have heard of Judge and Saïd, but I can only recall having met 1-2 in the US.

Agree with this.

Honestly it's not the school, it's the degree, most "Masters in Business Analytics" programs are kind of a joke and at least among my network viewed as a cashgrab designed to suck more dough out of non-target school grads or foreign bachelors degree holders.

The things you learn there are literally an amalgamation of underground stem+business courses plus maybe a few lectures from an MBA instructor + a shoddy capstone with a local company.

You may want to keep your eyes open and learn more. For example, MIT has an awesome business analytics master program

Imperial is whatever. From experience only UK degrees that have some acclaim in US are OxBridge, LSE/LBS, St. Andrews, Durham, Manchester. I’m an American by birth but grew up in the UK and moved back to US after undergrad.

I went to Imperial and I’d agree that it’s not well known in the US but I’m pretty sure neither are Durham, Manchester or St. Andrews unless people confuse them for the town/cities they’re in.

Growing up north, I hadn’t even heard of Georgia Tech until I was looking for masters programs. But the industry reputation is very strong. Bittersweet to find out I couldn’t get a bonus for GT referrals because it’s already a recruiting target for BCG.
