Imperial College London
Welcome to Imperial College London, the world–leading university for science, technology, engineering, medicine and business (STEMB).
We were founded in 1907 with a mission ‘To be useful’, but we know that before anyone can usefully change something, they first need to understand it. That’s what we do here: We use science to try to understand more of the universe and improve the lives of the people in it. Our place in rankings and league tables reflects the dedication of our community to create the best possible educational and research environment where students and staff can thrive. Imperial is consistently recognised as a top global research university and we are currently ranked 2nd in the World in the QS World University Rankings 2025 and number one for graduate prospects (The Guardian University Guide 2025).
