I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

How does campus recruitment work for Imperial College?

Hi, 

I completed my Bachelor's and I'll start my MSc at Imperial College in October, and I'm highly interested in applying for entry-level roles in MBB. 

How does campus recruitment work? Is it better if I apply directly, or if I wait until there are events from MBB on campus? Please note that I have 2 referrals from BCG (one Consultant and one Project Leader) and I have a few more intro calls booked in with more senior employees from MBB in general. 

Also, do I check when these events will happen via the company websites?

Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

You don’t need to wait for the events before applying. The events are mainly for networking, learning more about the firms, and getting face time with recruiters and consultants – they don’t affect whether your application can be submitted. Applications go through the official portals, and those deadlines are fixed regardless of events.

So the best approach is:

  1. Apply as soon as the application window opens – this ensures your CV is in the system and considered on time.
  2. Also attend the campus events when they come up – they’re useful to strengthen your connections, but they don’t replace the application process.

Since you already have referrals lined up, you’ll be in a strong position whether or not you attend the events. But if you can, do both – submit your application early, and use the events to show additional commitment and get to know the recruiters.

Best,

Evelina
