Choosing between Imperial MiM and NYU MEM depends on the type of job and location a student is targeting after graduation. Both are solid programs, but they lead to very different career paths.

  • Focus: Imperial is business-oriented for early-career grads; NYU MEM blends tech with management for STEM profiles.
  • Duration: 1 year at Imperial vs. 1.5–2 years at NYU.
  • Post-study visa: 2 years in the UK; up to 3 years OPT in the U.S. for NYU (STEM benefit).
  • Average salary: £45K–£52K for Imperial; $85K–$105K for NYU MEM grads.
  • Top recruiters: BCG, HSBC, L’Oréal at Imperial; Amazon, IBM, PwC, Accenture at NYU.
  • Career roles: Imperial grads enter business/consulting; NYU grads move into product, data, or operations roles.
  • Entry background: Imperial suits non-tech profiles; NYU MEM requires a STEM or quant foundation.

Tech-focused students looking to stay in the U.S. should lean toward NYU. Imperial fits better for those aiming for business roles in Europe.
