Imperial College London

Imperial College London (Imperial) is a public


Imperial College London
research university in London, England. Its history
began with Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert,
who envisioned a cultural area in South Kensington
that included museums, colleges, and the Royal Albert
Hall.[6][7] In 1907, these colleges – the Royal College
of Science, the Royal School of Mines, and the City
and Guilds of London Institute – merged to form the
Imperial College of Science and Technology.[8]

Westminster Hospital in 1834, and St Mary's Hospital
in 1851.[14][15][16]

In 1851, the Great Exhibition was organised as an exhibition of culture


and industry by Henry Cole and by Prince Albert, husband of the reigning
monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Victoria. An enormously popular
and financial success, proceeds from the Great Exhibition were designated
to develop an area for cultural and scientific advancement in South
Kensington.[17] Within the next six years the Victoria and Albert Museum
and Science Museum had opened, joined by new facilities in 1871 for the
Royal College of Chemistry, and in 1881 the opening of the Royal School
of Mines and Natural History Museum.[18]

In 1881, the Normal School of Prince Albert was the main


Science was established in South patron of the early royal
Kensington under the leadership of colleges and the
Thomas Huxley, taking over development of an area of
responsibility for the teaching of culture in South Kensington
the natural sciences and agriculture
from the Royal School of
Mines.[19] The school was renamed the Royal College of Science
Imperial Institute, now the site of
Queen's Lawn
by royal consent in 1890.[20] The Central Institution of the City
and Guilds of London Institute was opened as a technical
education school on Exhibition Road by the Prince of Wales in
1884, with courses beginning in 1885.[8]

20th century
At the start of the 20th century, there was a concern that Great
Britain was falling behind Germany in scientific and technical
education. A departmental committee was set up at the Board of
Education in 1904, to look into the future of the Royal College of
Science. A report released in 1906 called for the establishment of
an institution unifying the Royal College of Science and the Royal
School of Mines, as well as – if an agreement could be reached
with the City and Guilds of London Institute – its Central Royal College of Science
Technical College.[21][22]

On 8 July 1907, Edward VII granted a Royal Charter establishing the Imperial College of Science and
Technology. This incorporated the Royal School of Mines and the Royal College of Science. It also made
provisions for the City and Guilds College to join once conditions regarding its governance were met, as
well as for Imperial to become a college of the University of London.[23] The college joined the
University of London on 22 July 1908, with the City and Guilds College joining in 1910.[8][24] The main
campus of Imperial College was constructed beside the buildings of the Imperial Institute, the new
building for the Royal College of Science having opened across from it in 1906, and the foundation stone
for the Royal School of Mines building being laid by King Edward VII in July 1909.[21]

As students at Imperial had to study separately for London degrees, in January 1919, students and alumni
voted for a petition to make Imperial a university with its own degree awarding powers, independent of
the University of London.[25][26] In response, the University of London changed its regulations in 1925 so
that the courses taught only at Imperial would be examined by the university, enabling students to gain a
Bachelor of Science.[27] In October 1945, George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Imperial to
commemorate the centenary of the Royal College of Chemistry, which was the oldest of the institutions
that united to form Imperial College. "Commemoration Day", named after this visit, is held every
October as the university's main graduation ceremony.[28][29] The college also acquired a biology field
station at Silwood Park near Ascot, Berkshire in 1947[30]

Following World War II, there was again concern that Britain was
falling behind in science – this time to the United States. The
Percy Report of 1945 and Barlow Committee in 1946 called for a
"British MIT"-equivalent, backed by influential scientists as
politicians of the time, including Lord Cherwell, Sir Lawrence
Bragg and Sir Edward Appleton.[31][32] The University Grants
Committee strongly opposed however,[31] and so a compromise
was reached in 1953, where Imperial would remain within the
Royal School of Mines
university, but double in size over the next ten years.[33][34] The
expansion led to a number of new buildings being erected. These
included the Hill building in 1957 and the Physics building in
1960, and the completion of the East Quadrangle, built in four stages between 1959 and 1965. The
building work also meant the demolition of the City and Guilds College building in 1962–63, and the
Imperial Institute's building by 1967.[35] Opposition from the Royal Fine Arts Commission and others
meant that Queen's Tower was retained, with work carried out between 1966 and 1968 to make it free
standing.[36] New laboratories for biochemistry, established with the support of a £350,000 grant from the
Wolfson Foundation, were opened by the Queen in 1965.[37][38]

In 1988, Imperial merged with St Mary's Hospital Medical School under the Imperial College Act 1988.
Amendments to the royal charter changed the formal name of the institution to The Imperial College of
Science, Technology and Medicine and made St Mary's a constituent college.[39] This was followed by
mergers with the National Heart and Lung Institute in 1995 and the Charing Cross and Westminster
Medical School, Royal Postgraduate Medical School and the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in
1997, with the Imperial College Act 1997 formally establishing the Imperial College School of
Medicine.[40]

21st century
In 2003, Imperial was granted degree-awarding powers in its own right by the Privy Council. In 2004, the
Imperial College Business School and a new main college entrance on Exhibition Road were
opened.[41][42] The UK Energy Research Centre was also established in 2004 and opened its headquarters
at Imperial. On 9 December 2005, Imperial announced that it would commence negotiations to secede
from the University of London.[43] Imperial became fully independent of the University of London in
July 2007.[44][45][46]

In April 2011, Imperial and King's College London joined the UK Centre for Medical Research and
Innovation as partners with a commitment of £40 million each to the project. The centre was later
renamed the Francis Crick Institute and opened on 9 November 2016. It is the largest single biomedical
laboratory in Europe. The college began moving into the new White City campus in 2016, with the
launching of the Innovation Hub.[47] This was followed by the opening of the Molecular Sciences
Research Hub for the Department of Chemistry, officially opened by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan in
2019.[48]

In 2014, Stefan Grimm, of the Department of Medicine, was found dead after being told that he was
"struggling to fulfil the metrics" of his professorial post.[49][50][51] The college announced an internal
inquiry into his death, and found that the performance metrics for his position were unreasonable, with
new metrics for performance being needed.[52]

Campuses

South Kensington
The South Kensington campus is the college's main campus,
where most teaching and research takes place. It is home to many
notable buildings, such as the Business School, Royal School of
Mines, and Royal College of Science. It is also the original site of
the Imperial Institute, whose Queen's Tower stands at the heart of
the campus overlooking Queen's Lawn. As part of a cultural
centre known as Albertopolis the campus is surrounded by many Imperial College Business School
of London's most popular attractions, including the Royal Albert and College Main Entrance

Hall and Kensington Palace, museums including the Natural


History Museum, Science Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum, and institutions such as the Royal
College of Art, the Royal College of Music, and the National Art Library.

The campus has many restaurants and cafés run by the college,
and contains much of the college's student accommodation,
including the Prince's Garden Halls, and Beit Hall, home to the
college union, which runs student pubs, a nightclub, and a cinema
on site. To the north, within easy walking distance of the college,
are Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, with green spaces and
sports facilities used by many of the student clubs.

White City View from the main entrance

Imperial has a new second major campus in White City providing


a platform for innovation and entrepreneurship. This campus was built on land previously owned by
BBC.[53] The hub houses research facilities, postgraduate accommodation, as well as a commercialisation
space.[54][55] The campus is home to the Scale Space and
incubator, Invention Rooms, a college hackerspace and
community outreach centre.[56] The White City campus also
includes another biomedical centre funded by Sir Michael
Uren.[57][58][59]

Silwood Park
Kensington Gardens
Silwood Park is a postgraduate campus of Imperial in the village
of Sunninghill near Ascot in Berkshire. The Silwood Park campus
remains a centre for research and teaching in ecology, evolution,
and conservation. It is set in 100 hectares of parkland used for
ecological field experiments.

Hospitals
Imperial has teaching hospitals across London which are used by
the School of Medicine for undergraduate clinical teaching and
medical research. All are based around college-affiliated hospitals, The campus was built on land
and also provide catering and sport facilities. College libraries are previously owned by the BBC.
located on each campus, including the Fleming library at St
Mary's.[60]

Banga.[64]

Finances and endowment


The college's endowment is sub-divided into three distinct
portfolios:

Unitised Scheme – a unit trust vehicle for the college,


Faculties and Departments to invest endowments and
unfettered income to produce returns for the long term
Non-Core Property – a portfolio containing around 120
operational and developmental properties which the
Graduation ceremonies take place
college has determined are not core to the academic

mission
Strategic Asset Investments – containing the college's
shareholding in Imperial Innovations and other restricted equity holdings.[68]

Affiliations and partnerships


Imperial is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, European University
Association, Global Alliance of Technological Universities, League of European Research Universities
and the Russell Group. It is a founding member of the Imperial College academic health sciences centre,
the Francis Crick Institute and MedCity. Imperial is a long-term partner of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, with the first formal large-scale collaboration agreement dating back to 1944 as part of
World War II scientific effort.[69] The partnership between the two institutions continues with exchange
programs for students and academic staff.[70][71]

Academic profile

Research
In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, Imperial's research profile was assessed as 66 per cent
world class (4*) 30 per cent internationally important (3*) and 3 per cent internationally recognised (2*),
with insignificant quantities of research in lower categories. This led to Imperial being ranked first in the
UK on GPA and ninth for research power by Times Higher Education, with a GPA of 3.63 and research
power 47.3 per cent of the top-ranked University of Oxford.[72]

The college promotes research commercialisation, partly through its dedicated technology transfer
company, Imperial Innovations, which has given rise to a large number of spin-out companies based on
academic research.[73][74] Imperial researcher Narinder Singh Kapany made critical contributions to the
invention of fibre optics.[75][76]

The United States is the college's top foreign country for


collaborations,[77] and Imperial College has a long-term partnership with
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that dates from World War
II.[69]

In January 2018, the mathematics department of Imperial and the French


National Centre for Scientific Research launched an "international joint
research unit" (unité mixte internationale; UMI) at Imperial, known as
UMI Abraham de Moivre after the French mathematician, focused on
unsolved problems and bridging British and French scientific
communities.[78] In October 2018, Imperial College launched the Imperial
Cancer Research UK Center, a research collaboration that aims to find
Innovation Hub
innovative ways to improve the precision of cancer treatments,
inaugurated by Joe Biden as part of his Biden Cancer Initiative.[79][80]

Neil Ferguson's 16 March 2020 report entitled "Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions to reduce
COVID-19 mortality and healthcare demand" was described in a New York Times article as the
coronavirus "report that jarred the U.S. and the U.K. to action".[81][82] Since 18 May, Imperial College's
Dr. Samir Bhatt has been advising the state of New York for its reopening plan.[83] The governor of New
York, Andrew Cuomo, said at the time that "the Imperial College model, as we've been following this for
weeks, was the best, most accurate model."[83]

mainstream British universities.[94]

Libraries
The college's main library is located next to Queen's Lawn and Queen Elizabeth II opening the
Alexander Fleming Building
contains the main corpus of the college's collection. It previously
also housed the Science Museum's library until 2014.[97] The
Fleming library is located at St Mary's in Paddington, originally the library of St Mary's Hospital Medical
School, with other hospital campuses also having college libraries.[98]

Medicine
The Imperial Faculty of Medicine was formed through mergers between Imperial and the St Mary's,
Charing Cross and Westminster, and Royal Postgraduate medical schools and has six teaching hospitals.
It accepts more than 300 undergraduate medical students per year and has around 321 taught and 700
research full-time equivalent postgraduate students.
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust was formed on 1 October
2007 by the merger of Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust
(Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital and Queen
Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital) and St Mary's NHS Trust (St.
Mary's Hospital and Western Eye Hospital) with Imperial College
London Faculty of Medicine.[99] It is an academic health science
centre and manages five hospitals: Charing Cross Hospital, Queen
Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, St
St Mary's Hospital, London
Mary's Hospital, and Western Eye Hospital. The Trust is currently
one of the largest in the UK and in 2012/13 had a turnover of
£971.3 million, employed approximately 9,770 people and treated
almost 1.2 million patients.[100]

Other (non-academic health science centres) hospitals affiliated


with Imperial College include Chelsea and Westminster Hospital,
Royal Brompton Hospital, West Middlesex University Hospital,
Hillingdon Hospital, Mount Vernon Hospital, Harefield Hospital,
Ealing Hospital, Central Middlesex Hospital, Northwick Park

world,[112] while the 2018 Reuters World's Most Innovative Universities ranking placed Imperial eighth
in the world. [113]

Imperial's focus on entrepreneurship and industry placements, along with the subject mix taught, has led
to high employability of its graduates. In 2024, Imperial was ranked first in the UK for highly skilled
employment or further studies by the Complete University Guide,[114] the Guardian University
Guide,[115] and the Times Good University Guide.[116] An
analysis of Higher Education Statistics Agency salary data for
2021 found that Imperial graduates had the highest median
salaries across all subjects of any UK university.[117]

Student life

Student body National league tables over ten years


For the 2022/23 academic year, Imperial had a total full-time
student body of 19,400, consisting of 10,475 undergraduate
students and 8,925 postgraduates.[118] 50.7% of the student body
is from outside of the UK.[119] 32% of all full-time students
came from outside the European Union in 2013–14,[120] and
around 13% of the International students had Chinese nationality
in 2007–08.[121] Imperial's male to female ratio for
undergraduate students is uneven at approximately 64:36 Global league tables over the years
overall,[121] and 5:1 or higher in some engineering courses.
However, medicine has an approximate 1:1 ratio with biology
degrees tending to be higher.[122]

Imperial College Union


Imperial College Union is the students' union and is run by five full-time sabbatical officers elected from
the student body for a tenure of one year, and a number of permanent members of staff. It is split into
constituent unions aligned with the faculties of the college, carrying on the association with the original
constituent colleges of Imperial, the Royal College of Science Union, City and Guilds College Union,
Royal School of Mines Students' Union and Imperial College School of Medicine Students' Union. The
Union is given a large subvention by the university, much of which is spent on maintaining over 300
clubs, projects and societies.[123]

Examples of notable student groups and projects are Project Nepal which sends Imperial College students
to work on educational development programmes in rural Nepal[124] and the El Salvador Project, a
construction based project in Central America.[125] The Union also hosts sports-related clubs such as
Imperial College Boat Club and Imperial College Gliding Club. The Union operates on two sites, with
most events at the Union Building on Beit Quad at South Kensington, with mostly medical school events
at the Reynold's bar, Charing Cross.

Facilities
Sports facilities at Imperial's London campuses include four gyms,
including the main Ethos gym at the South Kensington Campus,
two swimming pools and two sports halls.[126] Imperial has
additional sports facilities at the Heston and Harlington sports
grounds. On the South Kensington campus, there are a total of six
music practice rooms which consist of upright pianos for usage by
people of any grade, and grand pianos which are exclusively for
people who have achieved Grade 8 or above.[127]
Ethos Gym
There are two student bars on the South Kensington campus, one
at the Imperial College Union and one at Eastside.[128] There are a
number of pubs and bars on campus and also surrounding the campus, which become a popular social
activity for Imperial's students. The Pewter tankard collection at Imperial College Union is the largest in
Europe, with the majority of clubs and societies having tankards associated with their clubs.[129]

Student media

Imperial College Radio


Imperial College Radio (ICRadio) was founded in November
1975 with the intention of broadcasting to the student halls of
residence from a studio under Southside, actually commencing
broadcasts in late 1976. It now broadcasts from the West
Basement of Beit Quad over the internet.[130]
The weekly college farmer's market

Imperial College TV
Imperial College Television (ICTV) is the university's TV station, founded in 1969 as STOIC (Student
Television of Imperial College) and operated from a small TV studio in the Electrical Engineering block.
The department had bought an early AMPEX Type A 1-inch videotape recorder and this was used to
produce an occasional short news programme which was then played to students by simply moving the
VTR and a monitor into a common room. A cable link to the Southside halls of residence was laid in a
tunnel under Exhibition Road in 1972.

Felix Newspaper
Felix is weekly student newspaper, first released on 9 December 1949.[131] In addition to news, Felix also
carries comic strips, features, opinions, puzzles and reviews, plus reports of trips and Imperial College
sporting events.

Student societies

Imperial College Boat Club


The Imperial College Boat Club is the rowing club of Imperial and
was founded on 12 December 1919. The college's boat house is
located in Putney on the Thames, and has been refurbished,
reopening in 2014.[132]
Racing Green Endurance is a
Sports student-led project to demonstrate
the potential of zero-emission cars.
Imperial College has over 60 sports clubs,[133] of which many
participate in the British Universities and Colleges Sport
Association leagues such as American Football, Rugby, Badminton, Lacrosse, Football, Ice Hockey, and
many others.[133]

Exploration Club
Imperial's Exploration Board was established in 1957 to assist
students with a desire for exploration. Trips have included
Afghanistan, Alaska, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Fiji, the Himalayas,
Iran, Morocco, Norway, Tanzania, Thailand, Ukraine, and the
Yukon.[134]

Dramatic Society
The Imperial College Dramatic Society (DramSoc)[135] is one of
two major theatrical arts societies, with the other being the
Musical Theatre Society, and it was founded in 1912.[136] The
society puts on three major plays each year, in addition to several Beit Hall
smaller fringe productions. It is additionally one of the London-
based dramatic societies to participate in the London Student
Drama Festival,[137] and regularly attends the Edinburgh Fringe.
DramSoc is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the
Union's theatrical space, the Union Concert Hall.

The Techtonics
The Techtonics are an all-male a cappella group from Imperial
College London, and are a part of the Imperial College A Cappella Prince's Gardens surrounded by
Society.[138] The group was formed in 2008, and has since risen to college halls of residence
prominence in the world a cappella scene. The group is best known for winning the International
Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in 2016.[139]

Student housing
Imperial College owns and manages ten halls of residence in Inner London, Acton and Ascot, Berkshire.
Over three thousand rooms are available, with first year undergraduates guaranteed a place in one of the
six main college residences (subject to certain requirements). The majority of halls offer single or twin
accommodation with some rooms having en suite facilities. Bedrooms are provided with basic furniture
and with access to shared kitchens and bathrooms. All rooms come with internet access and access to the
Imperial network.[140]

Most students in college or university accommodation are first-year undergraduates. The majority of
older students and postgraduates find accommodation in the private sector, help for which is provided by
the college private housing office. However a handful of students may continue to live in halls in later
years if they take the position of a "hall senior", and places are available for a small number of returning
students in three small halls.[141] The accommodation in Ascot is only for postgraduate students based at
the Silwood Park site.[142]
