Imperial Leap
The Centre for Languages, Culture and Communication's new programme for PGT students
What is Imperial Leap?
Imperial Leap is the new extra-curricular offering for postgraduate taught (PGT) students at Imperial College London. Imperial Leap provides an opportunity to enhance personal development and build community during your time at the university. Meet students from other departments, consider your place in Imperial and the world, and hone your skills of self-reflection, collaboration and communication.
Imperial Leap will commence in the 2027-28 academic year, with a pilot starting in autumn 2026.
Imperial Leap Pilot Programme 2026-27
The Imperial Leap pilot will run in 2026-27 and we are looking for existing postgraduate taught students to participate. The initial programme will consist of three sessions on the following topics:
| Session | Details | Topic |
|---|---|---|
| Session 1 | Wed 21 Oct 2026, 12:00 -14:00 In person |
Who am I as a postgraduate? Identifying your strengths, values and motivations. |
| Session 2 |
Wed 11 Nov 2026, 12:00-14:00 |
How do I work best with others? Communicating and collaborating across disciplines. |
| Session 3 | Wed 2 Dec 2026, 12:00-14:00 Online |
How will I develop this year? Setting goals and planning the steps to reach them. |
These sessions will be run during the autumn term 2026. We will gather student feedback during the pilot and we hope to conduct additional workshops through spring and summer terms 2027, tailored to your interests.
What will I get out of it?
- A chance to meet students from other departments (networking, socializing, community)
- A free lunch! (Session 1 only)
- An opportunity to think about your personal development and enhance your time at Imperial.
- A fun experience to complement your Master’s
- Something interesting to talk about in interviews
- The possibility of paid work as a student partner on the further development of Imperial Leap
The Imperial Leap Pilot is kicking off now and we hope you will join us!
