Imperial College London – Science for Humanity

We were founded in 1907 with a mission ‘To be useful’ – but we know that before anyone can usefully change something, they first need to understand it. That’s what we do here: We use science to try to understand more of the universe and improve the lives of more people in it. Join us at Imperial – a place to ask your questions. And to get closer to the answers, together.

What makes us different

We’re consistently recognised as one of the world’s best universities by QS, the Guardian and Times Higher Education. We’re also home to a greater proportion of world-leading research than any other UK university, according to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.

We’re rated Gold by the Teaching Excellence Framework 2023. You’ll learn from researchers considering some of the most urgent challenges facing our world.
