Imperial College London

Always fantastic to be here, gorgeous place and acoustics ????❤️❤️

Spent some great time here during 1985-88 and 1993-97. The memory is as vivid as yesterday. It is certainly not a walk in the park, but stretches you all the way intellectually. Thank you. #imperialcollege #engineering #science #teaching #research

Attended a lecture here back when lockdown was relaxed and establishments were open for all. Beautiful area. The university is prestige in waiting. Lecturers were well versed in their field of advanced laser optics and physics.

Amazing college space with library and cafeteria

Highly professional workplace. Considerable efforts and significant funding allocated towards improving the student experience.

Amazing University!

At the start of the 20th century there was a concern that Britain was falling behind Germany in scientific and technical education. A departmental committee was set up at the Board of Education in 1904, to look into the future of the Royal College of Science. A report released in 1906 called for the establishment of an institution unifying the Royal College of Science and the Royal School of Mines, as well as – if agreement could be reached with the City and Guilds of London Institute – their Central Technical College.[24][25] On 8 July 1907, King Edward VII granted a Royal Charter establishing the Imperial College of Science and Technology. This incorporated the Royal School of Mines and the Royal College of Science. It also made provisions for the City and Guilds College to join once conditions regarding its governance were met, as well as for Imperial to become a college of the University of London.[26] The college joined the University of London on 22 July 1908, with the City and Guilds College joining in 1910.[10][11] The main campus of Imperial College was constructed beside the buildings of the Imperial Institute, the new building for the Royal College of Science having opened across from it in 1906, and the foundation stone for the Royal School of Mines building being laid by King Edward VII in July 1909.[24] As students at Imperial had to study separately for London degrees, in January 1919, students and alumni voted for a petition to make Imperial a university with its own degree awarding powers, independent of the University of London.[27][28] In response, the University of London changed its regulations in 1925 so that the courses taught only at Imperial would be examined by the university, enabling students to gain a BSc.[29]  Royal School of Mines In October 1945, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Imperial to commemorate the centenary of the Royal College of Chemistry, which was the oldest of the institutions that united to form Imperial College. "Commemoration Day", named after this visit, is held every October as the university's main graduation ceremony.[30][31] The college also acquired a biology field station at Silwood Park near Ascot, Berkshire in 1947[32] Following the second world war, there was again concern that Britain was falling behind in science – this time to the United States. The Percy Report of 1945 and Barlow Committee in 1946 called for a "British MIT"-equivalent, backed by influential scientists as politicians of the time, including Lord Cherwell, Sir Lawrence Bragg and Sir Edward Appleton.[33][34] The University Grants Committee strongly opposed however,[33] and so a compromise was reached in 1953, where Imperial would remain within the university, but double in size over the next ten years.[35][36] The expansion led to a number of new buildings being erected. These included the Hill building in 1957 and the Physics building in 1960, and the completion of the East Quadrangle, built in four stages between 1959 and 1965. The building work also meant the demolition of the City and Guilds College building in 1962–63, and the Imperial Institute's building by 1967.[37] Opposition from the Royal Fine Arts Commission and others meant that Queen's Tower was retained, with work carried out between 1966 and 1968 to make it free standing.[38] New laboratories for biochemistry, established with the support of a £350,000 grant from the Wolfson Foundation, were opened by the Queen in 1965.

Nice place to see museums and have a coffee.

Excellent location!!

It's where I work as a Professor. A superb establishment for the teaching and practice of technology and medicine

Went to one of their buildings to do maintenance on cranes and it was a nice place

Once you become a member of imperial organization, you will feel special and welcomed from staff and students. The teaching is organized in a perfect way. Imperial for ever !!

One of the best Universities in the world. It is in the Top 5 in QS University Rankings. Getting Admission is very difficult Especially for International Students.

The Imperial College London is one of the best schools in the whole of the UK. This is because the history behind the buliding and the reputation it has built up with its very successful alumni. The teaching at this institute is some of the best and aids towards the success of its students.

Disgriminated against left handers.

Imperial College London (legally Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine)[7] is a public research university in London. Dating back to the Royal College of Chemistry's foundation in 1845, Imperial grew out of Prince Albert's vision of an area for culture, including the Royal Albert Hall, Imperial Institute, numerous museums, and the Royal Colleges that would go on to form the college.[8][9] In 1907, Imperial College was established by Royal Charter, merging the Royal College of Science, Royal School of Mines, and City and Guilds College.[10] In 1988, the Imperial College School of Medicine was formed by combining with St Mary's Hospital Medical School.

One of the best schools in the whole of the UK.

A fantastic college, having spent my postgraduate year here, studying International Health Management. The professors and admin staff are very pleasant. The environment is fantastic, such a modern campus. And the location is second to none with Hyde Park on your doorstep, along with the museums on Exhibition Road. I would not disagree with anyone wishing to study here

Will worth a walk through the campus of you are in the area.

This university my best university but am live turkey and there come hard maybe there come and i say from londra

Prestigious educational institution consistently among the top four in the United Kingdom. Has churned out numerous scientists and inventors who have contributed greatly to various spheres of knowledge. As the name suggests, it is located in London, so it is often compared to University College London. But Imperial is better, almost as good as Oxbridge. Would probably be very much pleasing if you were to study architecture or engineering here - the architecture of some of these buildings is just supreme.

A life changing experience

It was a privilege to do a short exchange program for 3 months at Imperial where great minds works! The university is located in central London, just few minutes away from many of the great historic museums, Royal Albert Hall, Hyde park etc. A very nice locality, good connectivity, lots of restaurants. Do visit!

Excellent research

Very good

open, prestigious, beautiful.

One the most scenic campuses

Charges £80 to be considered for an MRes or MSc course. Education should be for all and this is another barrier for some to enter higher education.

Right place to improve your skill

One of the best in the world for engineering and applied sciences! I visited a few other campuses, but like Imperial the most

A superb institution for engineering, with a wide variety of research groups.

I work there! It's a great place to work for!

An incredible institution: being part of the team here opens up a world of possibilities in scientific endeavour

Charges you £80 just to be considered for a MRes or MSc course, which is less than ideal...

Very massive estate, good location, impressive breakfast service, very friendly staff and good facilities very clean. Only downer was I struggled to get signal on my phone val mobile data. Would definitely recommend and go again. Oh by the way the price was great for myself and my group.

Nothing like a bit of 1960ies extra ugly architecture.

To dare making an estimate about the outcome of Covid 19 epidemic, at early stages, with a poor dataset, and to give that estimate to the government, show such a low knowledge about math and statistics, that makes me wonder what your students learn there, and how low are the standards for hiring the professors...

Great place to work and great area.

This is best college for studies

Loved the Imperial College Festival that we saw here lots of interesting exhibits on various science topics. My favourite was the quantum mechanics Overview by Professor Toby Wiseman. All fun on a Saturday day out.

I did my masters there. The worst year of my life. It’s a dangerous place for your mental health, unnecessary stress that prevents you from learning calmly. Definitely overrated!! If they consider students’ health in the rankings, it should become a bottom 10 university!

The famous city-styled university, with lots of historical building surrounding it. Can't escape the student atmosphere.

Worst place to work

Still had the Spanish inquisition at the car park barrier again even though car is booked in. Appears barrier switched off again as normally automatic control let's us in

Imperial College London It is located in London, and it is considered one of the best British educational institutions ever .. The college specializes in scientific, technological and medical fields, and it graduated 14 scientists and researchers who won the Nobel Prize .. The college’s history dates back to the fifteenth century and was fully integrated with the University of London .. However, it fully regained its independent status in the year 2007 .. The college was ranked according to the Times ranking of international universities in the eighth position in the world ..

One of the best university in the world. Science and business / traditional and modern / hard to say goodbye

Great place to work

It's a good place to study, I had personally attended multiple events in its hall and it was great an experience !

Cozy

All the days I have spent with you are blindingly beautiful. Because the day is sunny, the day is rainy, and the day is perfect. Eveyday is good. . It's special for me. I attend preview session at Imperial College London before BBC proms. I have Academic explanation about it and all participants have chance to join Q&A session. It was so nice! Remarkable memories if you make it.
