Excellent video, and the final tip was excellent. Rarely mentioned.
THANK YOUUU this helps so much! It's much less stressful when you actually know what to do
As a medic, you've made some pretty accurate and great points here. Great information.
Thank you ☺️
Thanks man, this really does put my mind more at ease
You’re welcome my man, best of luck getting into university and make sure you sub as I’ve got more imperial & university related advice videos upcoming 🤩
Really informative video! Super helpful
Happy it helped 😌
Thanks Deniz this is great video which I am looking for my daughters one of their name is Deniz too😊. I shared your video with them it might help them the process. I think like all other Turkish moms I am so excited more than them. Thanks again!
You’re very welcome, best of luck to your daughter Deniz if she decides to apply to Imperial 😅
Very Inspirational stuff here :)
😌😌😌
This was so useful. 😮🎉 thanks
Glad it was of use Amy 🥳 I have released more videos on my channel around Engineering, University and Imperial College London that you may find of interest and have even more videos planned for future release so make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out 🤩
Thanks so much Deniz that was extremely helpfull! I just have 1 question; Did your friends take that english test before they applied, or did they get asked to take it as part of the offer after they applied?
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed! So the English assessment happens after you apply to Imperial and it took place around January according to some of my friends that took the test.
@@denizsancar Ok thanks a lot man!
@@mutantfriendz4967 👍👍
There is one catch about some universities. You study engineering it's understandable that you didn't mention this. Some universities have an exam as part of the offer rather than a strict did you get in system. What this means is for some subjects like maths (+stats which is what I'm on), you can get in with an A*A*A but also if you get an A*AA if you do well enough in these exams (that was actually how I got in). Also if you want to do maths at Cambridge, you have to do the interview first and then take the entrance exam which takes place during your A levels. It is for this reason that for cambridge maths, they give out offers to twice as many people as the amount of places they have available.
Regardless, good video anyways
I kind of mentioned this when touching upon entrance examinations, I had it for Cambridge with the ENGAA for engineering, but I think you’re are referring to exams that help lower your entry requirements which I didn’t have for engineering
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😅
Amazing video
Glad you enjoyed 😅
Beyond the 5 destinations you can select, can you apply to a multitude of courses within the same university, in the same or different departments?
Amazing video and thanks for making it. Just one request can you please elaborate on personal statement more and also share what you have written, it would be great help.
Thank you 😊. That’s a great idea, I’m happy to do another video on the personal statement so make sure to sub and stay tuned for that
Hi just to let you know Shivansh, I’ve posted another video dedicated to my Personal statement recently to let you know in case it may be of interest to you 😌
Thank you so much for this video, I am at the end of year 12 and I have to write a draft for personal statement, I need to do more reading and do a personal project do I can show my passion for mechanical engineering. I did 1 week work experience for Royal Mail Security and investigation idk how I am gonna link this to engineering, should I even include it? 😭
I’m really glad it helped you, yes I have more videos all about the personal statement and super curricular activities which I’m sure will be of a big aid. Any sort of experience can definitely help but the bulk of your personal statement should be on academic related activities
Passion may not be a good indicator and it changes as your circumstances become different. It is wiser to seek after your purpose and your true strength. For example, you may like playing with Lego, but no one will pay you on doing Lego, since you could be good in maths and you don’t mind doing a bit of computer, you can pursue data science.
Great point however at this young age very few people would know their true purpose and I wouldn’t recommend someone doing something they are good at if they hate it. It sometimes should be more about happiness than money. But you’re right, if you can find something you are good at, that is a great career and you don’t mind it, then that is a great place to start
Hi I’m currently in year 12 and I have done my mock exam. I do not know how to look at research facts from universities. How can I see the fascinating research from imperial college?
Hi there, thank you for watching, the imperial college website has lots of information regarding imperial college’s research 😅
Hi Deniz, thank you so much for making this amazing video!! I'm an international student and i'm planning to apply for ICL in 2025, and i really need help with some questions. I know ICL is located in South Kensington in London, which i'm sure is a beautiful place, but i haven't been to London before so i'm a little concerned whether living there for three to four years is affordable for my family. Could you plz tell me how much money should an undergraduate student have to live a average-standard life in ICL for one year?(not including tuition fee) It would be a great help!!!
South Kensington is one of the most expensive places in London 😅 1st year you get accommodation with cheaper ones out in zone 2/3 of London but fortunately because of how well London is connected with the tube, you can get accommodation preety much anywhere in London for 2nd year onwards and be able to travel into university 😌
hi Deniz, I’m applying for ic mechanical engineering in 2024, and i got 3a* for alevel maths, physics and further maths, A for chemistry(phy, chem and fm are predicted grades). But i got really bad gcse grades, i took 7 subjects and only got two a* for math and physics, rest of them were B and a G for Spanish. I just wondered do you think this is a competitive transcript or kind of far reach for IC?😢
Hi there, your a-levels are the biggest determining factors, the fact you got a* in maths and physics gcse is really good as I know that’s super important for engineering, I know people in my cohort that didn’t get A*/a/b in all their GCSEs but still got in so don’t let that hold you back especially since you did well in the maths and science based GCSEs. As long as you smash your alevels and the rest of your application is solid you should have a great shot of getting in
@@denizsancar Got it, really appreciate the encouragement, thanks!
Hi Deniz, I am applying for Imperial civil engineering Meng course which starts from 2024. Right now I have submitted my UCAS application before the first round deadline (16 Oct) and waiting for further information from the admission team. May I know when did you receive the email that indicated you got selected to do the admission test (the online MCQ) and is it everyone have the chance to do it?
Hi there, good luck on your application, I went through my emails and can’t remember exactly when I got my email for the admissions test but I know I got my email for my acceptance offer on the 15th April. When I applied in 2020, there was a MCQ online maths test and then an interview day.
Hello I'm also applying to imperial for engineering, but mech eng, not sure if it is different. I got an email on 27th october saying i've been invited to do the test.
I have an aero engineering interview coming up for imperial .what type of problem solving questions can I be asked and how do I prepare for them
Hi there, I’m not entirely sure how the aero department run their interview process, I’d suggest brushing up on maths and physics knowledge and paying attention to any current news stories circulating around aero
Do south Sudanese have chance to apply to this scholarship
For the imperial entrance exams, would you say further maths knowledge is required? I haven't picked further maths but I would like to apply to imperial.
Great question, to be honest you don’t, there are multiple people who are on my course who never took further maths, it does help but is no where near necessary and the entrance exam was mostly based on A-levels maths rather than further maths it wasn’t too difficult
@@denizsancar thanks!
@@denizsancar which test did you do? I'm applying for the EIE course and I have to do a 30minute 30q (~40 marks) test tomorrow. The sample tests include a bunch of stuff from 2nd year ALevel and FM. It feels like ENGAA all over again, but somehow worse 😢
Hii deniz..I'll be applying for the 2024 fall Intake in U.K for Master's program in Software Engineering/Computer Science.
I wanna ask you what should I do apart from my academics to get into the Imperial cause that's what my aim is.
As you said in your video as well that the university ranking doesn't gives a guarantee about the specialization in that particular course which I wanna persue..
So I would also like to know from your side which would be a good university for me in terms of specialization and also in terms of placements after the completion of the degree.
Hi there, thank you for watching my video and I hope you enjoyed. Imperial is very academic focussed but they want to see your motivation to study a masters as well so make sure you show enthusiasm. I’m not sure the individual rankings for software engineering but you can search up U.K. university league tables to find out 😅
@@denizsancar Will try my best brother.
Hi Daiyaan, I am doing an MSc in Computing (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) at Imperial, so I can possibly answer your questions. In terms of graduate salary after the degree, Imperial College London is 1st in the UK according to the Guardian, and for job placement, it is in the top 3 (this metric is harder to evaluate though, since Imperial grads are likely a lot more picky about the jobs they want to go into after graduation, personally I think graduate salary is the better metric). In terms of software engineering Imperial is 2nd in the UK according to rankings I have seen with Oxford being first. In computer Science it is top 3 so even if you were worried about specialisation it is top 3 for the general subject. In terms of extras, I think it is important to have something that you do outside of University that makes you stand out but is also related to your degree. For example, I think my background in Visual Effects and Computational Graphics aided my application. Also, in your application make it clear why you think Imperial is good for Software Engineering and also if you do add something extra why you think Imperial is good for that too, e.g. Imperial has a Realistic Graphics and Imaging research group that I want to be a part of which was in relation to the VFX and graphics. Let me know if you need any more information. @@daiyaan4400
Hi, i got all 6s in my GCSEs, but planning to do better in a levels and aim for cs in imperial. will my gcses disadvantage me there? are there imperial students with 6s? should i retake my gcses?
Hi Varisha, great question, studying computer science at Imperial is very much dependent on your Maths grade, I know people in my course that have got into Imperial with 6s at GCSE but I’m preety sure their maths grade was at least a 7. A levels are where it matters most but I’m not entirely sure if GCSE could hinder you, I would double check the imperial entry requirements and reach out to them directly if you still have any concerns 😅
@@denizsancar HI! if you could reach out that would be amazing, i am quite upset with my maths grade because i was predicted higher im not sure what happened, but if you could ask that’d be amazing! i am going to try do better! Can i message you on any social media or email and ask further questions? Hope it’s not a hassle
@@denizsancar This video was very helpful by the way so thank you
Feel free to Dm me on Instagram: Deniz23Sancar 😌
What about international students? Like, take A-level mathematics tests is a requirement?
I’m not too knowledgeable on the process for international students normally, they take your equivalent grades for your education system, everyone takes a small math test that applies but also if English isn’t your first language you have to take an English test.
@@denizsancar the math exam is kinda hard or something?
@Deniz Sancar and what's about grades, look. Here we have just 1 year of baccalaureate. Idk if you have 2
No the maths exam is not too difficult, the imperial website for undergraduate Civil Engineering should display entry requirements for education specs worldwide
I am a (foreign) bangladeshi student,I want your help to know how to apply for imperial college london and what are the grades requirement in perspective of Bangladesh education system!
Hi there, sorry I’m not too sure what the process is like to apply from Bangladesh I’m sure info can be found on the Imperial College London website for education requirement equivalents to A-levels. I wish you the best of luck 😌
Out of pure curiosoty, did you ever get a response from Cambridge for why you didnt get in?
The letter back purely said we thank you for your application but can not offer you a place, reflecting the high quality submissions we have had this year.
I went all the way through past the personal statement, entrance exams round to the final interviews so assume that was where I fell short.
I much improved for the Imperial interview day though and maybe if Imperial had been first and Cambridge second it would have been another story.
Thank you for commenting, feel free to reach out if you have any more questions and I’ve posted other videos on advice for getting into university
@@denizsancarwhat qualities did you come away from the Cambridge interview with? Like, why was your performance so much better with imperial? What did you learn and what changes did you make for the imperial interview?
Thanks for making this video. Super helpful! We live in London too and my son wants to apply for Mechanical Engineering. Could you please share your email id or phone no. so he can seek your help in drafting his personal statement. Many thanks!
Hi there, I’m glad you enjoyed the video, my contact details are in the description of my channel for reaching out to me. Also, I have other videos on my channel targeting university application including the personal statement
