Please check back for information relating to courses starting on/after January 2024, we'll update this soon.

Updating your email address

All communications are sent to the email address you provided when you created your My Imperial account.

Changing the course you applied for

To request a change to the course you applied for, please email the relevant Admissions team.

In the message, please specify:

  • which course you have already applied for
  • the course you wish to considered for instead
  • if this is an amendment to your 1st or 2nd choice application

We will consider all change requests, though we may not always be able to approve them, depending on your application and admission status at the point that we receive these. You should make every effort to ensure that your choices are correct before you submit, otherwise this may cause additional delays to your application process.

Correcting an error in your application

Once an application has been submitted, you cannot edit the information in it yourself. You can correct and update certain personal details via your Imperial Gateway account.

If you have made an error in your declarations, that may impact assessment requirements: for example the name of the University you are studying at, the date your qualifications were awarded, the country where you are resident, then please do contact the relevant Admissions team to notify the of the error and correction required. Please be aware that you have made spelling, spacing, formatting or grammatical errors in your personal statement, these cannot and will not be amended. Additionally, your application will be assessed on the basis of the academic transcripts you supply at the point of application – additional updated transcripts do not be submitted whilst your application is in progress.

If your referee has submitted their reference via our system, but made an error in the document they uploaded, they will need to send a corrected version of the reference letter to admissions.enquiries@imperial.ac.uk. This should be sent from an appropriate professional email address.
