As the summer term draws to a close, we’d like to congratulate all students and staff on another fantastic year at Imperial. Whether you're celebrating achievements or planning your next steps, summer is the perfect time to invest in your future.

With a quieter schedule, it’s a great opportunity to nurture your professional network. Start by updating your LinkedIn profile and connecting with peers, alumni, and industry professionals. Don’t miss our Career Essentials: LinkedIn session on Tuesday 24 June, 15.00 – 16.00 BST - a valuable chance to enhance your online presence.

Whether you're exploring career options or preparing for future applications, these opportunities can give you a competitive edge and they look great on a CV. So, why not make this summer count? Start building your future today!
