大学概况University Profile

One of the biggest-ever donations to a UK university is helping Imperial to turn a 25-acre site near the former BBC Television Centre, in West London, into a new campus for one of the world’s leading science, engineering and medical universities.

Michael Uren, an industrialist and Imperial graduate, has given £40m to build a biomedical engineering centre at the heart of the Imperial West campus. The full development will cost a total of £3bn and will also feature a Research and Translation Hub, bringing together the academic and business communities.

Imperial now has nine campuses in London and one in Singapore, due mainly to the proliferation of its activities in medicine in the 1990s. But undergraduates in most other subjects will continue to be based at the main South Kensington campus where Imperial has made its name.

Never out of the top five in our league table, Imperial rose to 2= in last week’s new QS rankings and also features in the top 10 of Times Higher Education world rankings.

Entrance requirements are high. Even in subjects that struggle for candidates elsewhere, entrants average better than A*AA at A-level and there are almost seven applications per place. More than a third of the undergraduates are from independent schools – one of the highest proportions at any university and considerably more than the national average for Imperial’s courses and entry qualifications.

About a third of the undergraduates are female – a low proportion born of the subject mix here, but one that has risen steadily over recent years – and roughly the same proportion of total student population are from outside the EU. The projected dropout rate of less than 3% is among the lowest in the UK.

The 2,200 academics and researchers include 73 Fellows of the Royal Society, 77 Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering and 81 Fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Imperial’s submission for the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise contained a higher proportion of world-leading or internationally excellent work (73 per cent) than any other university’s submission.

The Faculty of Medicine is one of Europe’s largest in terms of its staff and student numbers, as well as its research income. There are teaching bases attached to a number of hospitals in central and west London, while the UK’s first Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC), run in partnership with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, aims to translate research advances into patient care. The centre is one of only five in the country, denoting international excellence in biomedical research, education and patient care. 

In its first overseas venture, Imperial has also opened a new medical school jointly with Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore.

Engineering degrees last four years and lead to an MEng. Imperial is unique in the UK for providing teaching and research in the full range of engineering disciplines.

The growing business school is Imperial’s main venture beyond the world of science and technology. It is highly rated and is accredited by the three largest and most influential business school accreditation associations worldwide. There is also an environmental research campus at Silwood Park, 25 miles west of London.

The Imperial Horizons programme, designed to give students an edge in their future career, provides opportunities to debate global challenges such as climate change, drawing on expertise from across the university. Many degrees offer a work placement or year abroad, and students are actively encouraged to seek summer internships.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme offers “hands-on” research experience. It is especially popular in the summer vacation, when students can be paid bursaries and international undergraduates can participate without needing a work permit. A welcome dividend of these initiatives sees Imperial’s graduates command the highest average starting salaries in the UK.

Imperial celebrated its centenary in 2007 having left the University of London for greater autonomy and to take advantage of its global reputation. It has been redeveloping and expanding facilities on its main campus close to the South Kensington museums. A new sports centre, a second residential complex and refurbishments to the central library were followed by improvements to the students’ union bar and nightclub.

Further improvements to the library are being phased in over several years to minimise disruption. The latest campus development saw the launch in April 2014 of a Data Science Institute: a new hub for education, research and the application of big data technology.

The high-achieving students appear to buy into the ethos of work hard, play hard, with the students’ union claiming to have the largest selection of clubs and societies in the country – 300+ at the last count. Outdoor sports facilities are remote, but the new and well-equipped sports centre at the South Kensington campus offers students free gym and swimming facilities. Imperial has an outstanding reputation for rowing with three members of the college’s boat club winning silver medals at this summer’s u-23 world championships in Italy.

学生观点Student view

David Goldsmith, students’ union president

First impressions

It’s the most “campus feeling” university of those in London and you’re in the heart of the city.

Worst feature

A lot of students struggle with budgeting but you do get a higher grant which helps. 

Making a difference

You learn the skills necessary for the world of work through the opportunity of having the autonomy to run a club or society. 

Deal clincher

You are at a top research institution and have the opportunity to take part with some of the best in their fields.
