The College has over 3,000 academic and research staff and about 13,000 students from over 120 different countries. Our reputation for excellence in teaching and research in science, engineering, medicine and business attracts students and staff of the highest international calibre. Imperial College staff are frequently consulted by governments, and also act as members of professional bodies, advise industry, and offer informed comment to the media.
Imperial nurtures a ‘can do’ entrepreneurial culture and as a result has an enormous amount of intellectual capital. It has about 60 spin-out companies to date and is adding to this by an average of two per month.
Imperial has three Faculties, of Engineering, Natural Sciences, Medicine; the Tanaka Business School; and a Humanities Department. Interdisciplinary research is promoted through several Institutes, for example the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Energy Futures Lab. We provide undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in all branches of science, engineering and medicine. Two Graduate Schools, Engineering and Physical Science, and Life Sciences and Medicine, provide training in a broader range of student skills. College accommodation is provided for undergraduate students in their first year. Details of all our courses and admission procedures are available on our website, www.imperial.ac.uk.
