Choosing Between LSE MISDI vs Imperial IEM

Question

Hi everyone,
I’m currently deciding between two offers for my Master’s:

MSc Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation at LSE
MSc Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Management at Imperial College London

My background is in Business Management, and I’ve done internships in tech consulting, product, and digital strategy. Long-term, I’m aiming for a career at the intersection of innovation, analytics, and digital transformation, possibly in consulting or within a tech firm/startup.

I’m especially curious about:

Employability after graduation (both in UK and Europe)
Sponsorship friendliness for non-EU students
Strength of alumni network and industry exposure
Real practical learning and project-based opportunities
Long-term brand value and fit for strategy/product/innovation roles

Would love to hear your insights if you’ve gone through either of these programmes or hired from them.

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

In my limited-information opinion - the second option is the better choice. It has a lot more items that are MBA-ish and cover more core business concepts. This will give you broader exposure to employability-relevant topics.

The first option appears very light on core learning content and appear more focused on discussing relevant practical matters without diving much into their core drivers.
