Calling all undergraduate students! Have your say in shaping public engagement in your course!
We are five students across different faculties and we are collaborating to understand more about undergraduates’ perspectives on public engagement to improve your future curriculum.
We would like to invite you to join a 30–45-minute discussion to give us your opinions on public engagement within your course. As a thank you, you will get a £10 amazon voucher and you will help decide your future undergraduate curriculum!

We would love to hear from as many of you as possible and no prior knowledge or experience in public engagement is necessary to take part! First come first served!
To sign up fill in this form. For more information contact us.
Please note this opportunity is only for undergraduates from the following departments: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Dyson School of Engineering and Medicine.
£25 Amazon voucher and free pizza for an hour of your time!
We are CfAE coaches and would love to meet you to get feedback on the new academic communication provision we're trialling this term. This is following recommendations from a StudentShaper project which ran last term. We’re currently trialling the following:
Booking a group presentation coaching session with a CfAE academic communication coach
Receiving CfAE feedback on the academic communication aspects of a short extract of your writing or a short sample of a spoken text
We also need further feedback on other recommendations, which we are planning to implement in the autumn term:
The timetabling of future guided/practice workshops (time of year, time of week, time of day, duration, frequency, online/on campus)
The timetabling of future 1:1 feedback sessions for writing or for speaking (time of year, time of week, time of day, duration, frequency, online/on campus)
Our self-study provision (for speaking and for writing)
Primer workshops for new students starting at Imperial
We would therefore like to invite you to join one of us in a focus group with 3-4 other students.
Sign up here if:
You are an Imperial undergraduate or taught postgraduate student
You are from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Medicine or Engineering
You would like to share your feedback and suggestions!
We look forward to meeting you,
June, Sharon, Andrew, Robin & Simon

Background to the project:
Building a supportive environment where students can assess and advance their communication skills for academic success and beyond
This project involves engaging across Imperial’s diverse student body to bring representative voices into CfAE’s provision. The study aims to:
- meet the communication demands of the ‘Science for humanity’ mission of Imperial’s Learning and Teaching Strategy;
- support all students in developing the lifelong communication skills that are essential to their career;
- expand and improve how Imperial addresses the crucial communication aspect of student assessment and feedback in a scalable and sustainable way;
- to build an accessible, collaborative and supportive space/environment that fully responds to Imperial students’ expectations – a space where students can improve their communication in an environment they have helped shape
StudentShaper partners will use this data to produce an evidence-based set of recommendations on how CfAE’s existing expertise can contribute to improving communication at Imperial and how to market this to ensure student buy-in. These recommendations will be trialled in summer 2025 and hopefully rolled out in autumn term 2025
We aim to start running focus groups the week after next. This information sheet gives more information on this study – it does not need to be distributed as students will be sent the information sheet for the focus group if they sign up for it.
100 seat study space at the Abdus Salam Library
Library Services are pleased to announce the opening of a new Group Study Space on level 4 of the Abdus Salam Library. The area features over 100 study spaces in an array of different types of furniture such as 2, 4 and 6-seater meeting pods, standing desks and moveable furniture.
Whilst the main study furniture is bespoke and brand-new, we were very happy to be able to re-use a number of reclaimed whiteboards, a printer and a table and benches in the ‘tea-point’.
The ‘tea-point’ also includes a hot water boiler and cold vending machines.
Later in the year we will be adding to this space by opening two bookable group study rooms on the same floor.
We look forward to welcoming you to the space soon and please send your feedback to library@imperial.ac.uk.

Graduate Trainee – Digital Assets (ACA Training Contract) Location: London – Fitzrovia
Salary: £27,500
About Us
For nearly a century, our client has been building a firm as accountants, auditors, tax specialists and close advisors to clients operating in emerging markets, disrupting the status quo.
This has accelerated thanks to the blockchain. In 2017, a client asked to help with an ICO and they have been crypto pilled ever since, developing into what is currently the leading professional services firm on chain.
In 2023, they opened a new leg of the business to carve out a team dedicated to all things Web3, which is now over 80 strong and servicing near 600 digital asset clients globally. They partner with some of the industry's most influential players—cryptocurrency exchanges, blockchain innovators, Web3 pioneers, and digital asset funds—offering tailored audit, tax, and advisory services that keep pace with this fast-evolving landscape.
The Opportunity We’re seeking a bright and ambitious graduate to join as a Graduate Trainee. This is a unique opportunity to build a career that bridges the traditional world of accounting with the cutting-edge field of digital assets. You'll be supported through a training contract to obtain the ICAEW ACA qualification, while gaining hands-on experience across audit, financial reporting, and cryptocurrency accounting.
Graduate Trainee – Digital Assets
Magdrive is hiring a Graduate Physicist to join the Experimental Physics team to develop the next generation of electric spacecraft propulsion.
You will work on hands-on experiments and develop diagnostics to investigate the performance of Magdrive thrusters. These experiments will directly guide development of the Magdrive thruster, which will deliver unmatched thrust and efficiency, enabling accessibility to new orbits and new industries such as satellite servicing and orbital assembly.
You will play a pivotal role as one of Magdrive’s early members, bringing enhanced freedom, responsibility and potential for career growth. You will be working with existing optical and electrical diagnostics and vacuum facilities, in addition to developing new diagnostics, to study the electrical performance, plasma plume and thrust characteristics across a range of experiments. You will have the freedom to plan and execute self-led experiments as well as collaborating with the team on larger-scale experiments. You will also play a pivotal role in the development of the experimental physics lab in the DEEP (Disruptive Experimental Electric Propulsion) lab.

Online Mentoring
Dear Student,
I am looking for someone willing to do online mentoring/tutoring for three A level physics students. Initially, there will be 10 one-hour online sessions (one per week) with all three A level students together, and you will be paid the standard rate (starting from £14.88).
The students, and their North London school, would be grateful for any kind of mentoring and help with physics questions/ problems as they had no permanent physics teacher last academic year. The school would organise Teams meetings, and one of their staff would be pro forma logged in into the meeting, which makes everything simpler from the safeguarding point of view.
As a former A level physics teacher, I would be able to help you with any questions on how to approach A level questions/problems, how to structure the sessions or with any other problem you might encounter.
If you are interested or have any other question, please send me an email. Ana Soldner-Rembold: a.soldner-rembold@imperial.ac.uk

Fire evacuation assembly points for Blackett & Huxley
Dear all,
Thank you for the feedback provided following the triggering of the fire alarm in the Blackett Building last Tuesday. Please see below for the assembly points that should be used when evacuating from Blackett (points A or B) and Huxley (points A or C). You must use the nearest escape route which may not be the same route you normally use. For example, in Blackett there are the east and west stairwells which connect floors 0-7, in addition to the main stairwell which connects all floors. Always use the break glass to release exit doors and keep roads clear in case emergency vehicles need access.
