Accepted into both as an international for an engineering masters. How do the universities compare in terms of employment opportunities beyond graduation and international reputation? Clearly Imperial ranks higher on THES/QS rankings but ARWU places UCSD higher. Are the opportunities offered to top UK engineering grads on par or better than similar universities in the US? So is Imperial College London in general better than the likes of UCSD/ UCLA/USC and is it's reputation/opportunities available to masters students beyond graduation similar to universities such as Georgia tech, UIUC, Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan or Cornell?
I know more about the US than UK, so forgive my ignorance when it comes to UK/Europe.
How does imperial stack up though would you say MIT>Caltech-Stanford>Berkeley>Imperial=CMU=G eorgiaTech=Cornell>UCSD/UCLA in terms of job prospects/research opportunities and in prestige/reputation for an engineering masters graduate??
Any informed opinions?
