"Imperial sometimes has this reputation for just being all about getting your head down, but it's nothing like that. I've made so many friends and had so much fun. I think that's what I'll miss most when I graduate – that close network of friends that you see every day."
"Studying in London has provided me with so many opportunities. I worked as a consultant intern at a medical device start-up in central London, which was a great experience. They even offered me a full-time position once I graduated."
"I chose to study Strategic Marketing at Imperial College London because of the university’s focus on unravelling the science behind complex marketing strategies and the course’s emphasis on analytics and data-driven decision making."
"Knowing that Imperial had such a diverse cohort was a big deciding factor for me. I've never felt like an ‘international’ student – I’ve always felt like I belonged."
“Imperial College London is one of the leading universities in the world for medicine and innovation, which was why I chose to study here. The community is rich with culture, and I have formed friendships with people from all over the world.”
"I've met some incredible people at Imperial. It's amazing how people from all over the world can be so like-minded. I think the fact that everyone is here to study STEMM plays a big part – we're all science obsessed. It's great!"
"I chose Imperial because of its leading role in driving the climate-neutral future of the world through technology and policy. From day one, staff have been very kind and professional, and I feel privileged to have studied in London, with amazing fellow students from 35 countries around the world."
Ranked the world's best city for students by QS, London is truly a global city. It's also somewhere you can feel genuinely at home.
And with buses, trains, cycle lanes and planes leading to all kinds of destinations at all hours, you're never too far from friends, family – or your next adventure.
Studying in London puts a global marketplace on your doorstep, with many opportunities to visit leading organisations, attend networking events and start building a list of valuable professional contacts.
As a city bursting with creativity, London has
established itself as one of the best places in the
world to start a business.
Four UNESCO world heritage sites, 192 museums, 800+ art galleries, a world famous theatre scene... all just a short journey away from our South Kensington home.
In London, we don’t just accept people’s differences, we celebrate them. It's a place where over 300 languages are spoken and where you can eat, shop and enjoy entertainment from around the world without leaving the city.
If you’re an international student and looking to launch your career in
the UK when you graduate, you’ll be able to take advantage of the new Graduate Route visa. This lets you stay in the UK for up to two years after your studies, allowing you to work flexibly, switch jobs and develop your career as required, without the need for sponsorship during that time.
The majority of our postgraduate teaching takes place on our main London campus in South Kensington, which is well served by two Tube lines and many buses.
An on-going development, our new White City Campus provides a hub for sciences, tech and creative businesses, education and research.
Nearby Hammersmith Campus allows unique opportunities to further the College’s extensive work in healthcare translation and collaboration with the NHS.
