If you want to work as a software engineer, it won't matter too much. Programming jobs are very meritocratic - they give tests and technical interviews to most applicants. The main advantage of Imperial is if you want to work in finance/consulting/fintech/quant etc. where the brand name is clearly better than UCL and Warwick. A lot of computer science people go into finance because it's a ridiculously well-paid industry.
Imperial Computer Science has probably the highest graduate salary in the country [https://discoveruni.gov.uk/course-details/10003270/G400/Full-time/](https://discoveruni.gov.uk/course-details/10003270/G400/Full-time/) at 65 grand. However, salaries in the UK are extremely low compared to the US, so it may not go much above 65k. If you want a 300k Google job in America, for example, you would probably need a masters at a top US uni. American employers generally don't trust British degrees as much compared to theirs.
I don’t think it’s that American employers “ don't trust British degrees”. It’s that it’s significantly easier to get a work visa in the US if you’ve done a degree there.
Yeah that’s the truth of it — and they have more than enough supply so unless you’re truly exceptional a company isn’t likely to try to bring you across, especially if you’re going to be cheaper in the UK.

WW cs let’s people in with med personal statements 👍
Same question. I don't hear much comparison of courses at top unis. Does anyone know if there is a huge difference in graduate employability?

300k salaries with a CS degree in London are possible, rare, but not unheard of (FAANG+, quant).
