An education for the future

Impact, innovation and entrepreneurship

The mixture of science and business is what makes an Imperial education unique. 

At undergraduate level, science courses typically include business and finance modules, regardless of subject. While two out of our four in-built I-Explore modules for undergraduate students, which focus on subjects outside their undergraduate degree, prioritise a multi-disciplinary approach.

And at all levels, our highly research-intensive curriculum is complemented by an entrepreneurship focus. 

We have some of the best-resourced entrepreneurship facilities in the country, with one in eight students currently using our Enterprise Lab to brainstorm new business ideas, attend workshops on entrepreneurial skills, network with other students and receive mentoring from experts and alumni.

Research-based

One of the most distinctive elements of an Imperial education is that our students join a community of world-class researchers. They learn alongside leading experts in their field and are expected to generate their own knowledge.

Our strength in research puts a particular focus on solving real-world problems, complemented by our commitment to real-world impact and innovation.

Through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP), undergraduates can enjoy exposure to our research environment beyond their course. Or gain research experience at a partner university overseas through the International Research Opportunities Programme (IROP).
