2025/2026 campus visit opportunities for school and college students
We offer campus visits for students in the UK at state secondary schools and colleges throughout the academic year.
Our campus visits are targeted at students in Year 9 – Year 12. We offer a STEM-focused Talks and Tour Day (10-100 attendees) or a Practical Reach Out Lab Day (10-30 attendees). We also offer a STEM Lecture each term which accommodates larger numbers based on lecture theatre capacity. Talks and Tour Days and our STEM Lectures have the capacity for multiple schools to attend these events.
Our Talks and Tour Day and Practical Reach Out Lab Day may include:
- An ‘Introduction to Imperial’ presentation
- A talk from an Imperial PhD student about their research
- An opportunity for pupils to ask questions to current Imperial students
- A campus tour
- A practical lab-based activity in either Chemistry, Biology, Physics or Engineering
STEM Lectures run each term and aim to highlight STEM subjects to secondary school pupils. Previous lecture subjects include Bioengineering, Earth Sciences and Why We Study STEM.

Full dates we are able to offer campus visits for the the 2025/2026 academic year will be published in November 2025.
Expression of interest registration is open for our Year 11 or Year 12 Talk and Tour Day:
Wednesday 17 December 2025
The number of requests we receive each year exceeds the number of visit days we have available, so we have some priority measures in place to assess school suitability for on-campus activities.
As the Outreach Team coordinates these visits, we particularly encourage state schools with a high proportion of students receiving free school meals/who are eligible for pupil premium to request to book. We also consider school attainment and school location (looking at POLAR/IMD measures).
Please note that Imperial's Recruitment Team run visits for school groups too. If your school does not meet the priority criteria above, we recommend applying for a visit with them. We also offer self-guided tours of campus.
Imperial also runs the Newlands Lecture Series for students in years 10 – 13, their teachers and parents. The annual lecture is free to attend, but spaces are limited in the lecture theatre, and are available on a first-booking basis.
