External Communications

The External Communications team leads Imperial's engagement with the media, helping to raise the profile of the university's people, research, innovation and strategic priorities.

We deliver proactive and reactive media relations across all aspects of Imperial's work, from world-leading research and innovation to education, entrepreneurship, international partnerships and major strategic initiatives. We work closely with staff and students throughout the university to identify compelling stories, secure media coverage, connect experts with journalists and provide advice on engagement with the media.

Our team supports Imperial's leadership, academics, researchers, innovators and professional services colleagues to communicate effectively with external audiences, enhance the university's reputation and maximise the impact of our work.

Whether you are looking to publicise a research breakthrough, promote a major initiative, respond to a media enquiry or manage a reputational issue, we can provide expert advice and support.

We work with a wide range of audiences and stakeholders, including national and international media, policymakers, industry partners, funders, patients, prospective students, alumni and the wider public.
