🎯 @imperialcollege is really one of the jewels of UK science and tech - and produces some amazing founders
I'm so impressed with @imperialcollege Ranked Number 2 in the world, overtaking Oxford and Cambridge. Their top graduates are coming out with useful degrees like Computer Science, Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering. And it's really notable how practical and commercial
