The Charter and Statutes
Imperial College was established by Royal Charter in 1907. In 2007 a Supplemental Charter and Statutes was granted by HM Queen Elizabeth II which came into force on the date of the College's Centenary, 8th July 2007.
The Charter and Statutes are the primary governing instruments of Imperial College, and form the framework within which the governance structure operates. They may be amended following a Special Resolution made by Council and the consent of Privy Council.
