COLLABORATIVELY
Whether working on a cure for cancer or tackling the

For us, collaboration isn’t just about working together. It also means
nurturing curiosity, listening to new ideas and supporting every team
member. In fact, in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021,
Imperial was ranked first in the UK for research environment and with a
greater proportion of world-leading research than any other UK university.
We value great ideas wherever they come from and we’ll empower
you to take an active role in research during your studies.

you’ll take one of our I-Explore modules as part of your

There are also opportunities to enhance your degree
