START YOUR IMPERIAL JOURNEY

The journey to meet your future self starts with one application form.

Your application form could open the door to thousands of ways for you to shape, in your own way, the world for the better.

A ROADMAP TO YOUR APPLICATION

Get started by registering through the UCAS Hub at ucas.com and complete the registration questions. You can apply for up to five courses in the same application form. Many of our departments will only make you one offer, even if you apply for more than one of their courses. So, if you’re considering applying for multiple courses in the same Imperial department, contact them beforehand for advice. If you are applying for courses in different Imperial departments, your application will be considered separately.

CONTEXTUAL ADMISSIONS

We’ve updated our application process to make sure we fairly measure the ability and potential of UK students from all areas and backgrounds – particularly those where relatively few people have gone to university before. For the full list of eligibility criteria and admissions support offered by the department you’re interested in, visit: imperial.ac.uk/selection/

SHOW US

YOUR POTENTIAL

Our selection process is made up of a number of different elements to help us decide if you’re a good fit for Imperial.

A key part of your application is whether you meet our entry requirements, which we’ve broken down into several components.

Catching up by the Queen’s Tower at our South Kensington Campus

For each course on pages 24–35, we give an indication of the grades or scores we’re looking for and in which subjects. You’ll find these expressed in two different ways: • The minimum entry requirement describes the minimum academic standard considered for entry to the course. • The typical offer represents the offers that the department made to at least 80% of its 2021 entry applicants studying A-level or International

Baccalaureate (IB). The typical offer is usually higher than the minimum entry requirement, particularly in our most competitive departments.

ADMISSIONS TESTS

We don’t have a College-wide entry test as standard but we may ask you to sit a test as part of the admissions process in certain departments. While some departments have created their own tests, some use an external test, such as BMAT for MBBS/BSc Medicine. Where this requirement applies, you need to register for the test yourself; so make a note of the relevant registration deadlines.

INTERVIEWS

Most Imperial departments use an interview as part of the selection process. If you’re invited to an interview, we’ll send you more information in advance about what to expect. For example, you may be asked to attend a recruitment day, take part in a panel interview or give a presentation. If the interview is in person and you cannot attend, do ask what online options may be available.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

Wherever you’re from – even if you’re a native English speaker – you’ll need to show that you meet our English language requirements for entry. We have two levels of achievement – Standard (S) and Higher (H). See pages 24–35 to check the requirement for the course(s) you’re interested in. We accept a range of English language qualifications.

ACADEMIC ENGLISH SUPPORT

You will have access to free academic language courses, workshops and online resources from our Centre for Academic English to help develop your written and spoken communication. If you’re an international student with an unconditional offer and English is not your first language, the Centre offers two different pre-sessional courses: • A three-week course to develop your academic language and literacy skills before joining Imperial. • An assessed six-week course to help you meet the relevant English language requirement set out in your offer.
