Requirements for Graduate Studies
All entry requirements listed in the printed prospectus as well as on our online course lists are in reference to UK qualifications only and reflect the minimum requirement needed to be considered for admission. Programmes often do ask for higher than our minimum requirements, due to the demanding and competitive nature of our programmes.
If you intend to apply for a Masters degree the College minimum requirement is a UK Lower Second Class Honours degree. The majority of programmes have higher requirements, usually a minimum of a UK Upper Second Class Honours.
For admission to a PhD, MPhil, MD (Res) or EngD research programme the College would normally expect you to hold or achieve a Master’s degree in addition to a Bachelor’s degree at UK Upper Second Class Honours Level.
For information regarding our minimum entry requirements for international qualifications please visit our Country Index. All entry requirements are devised by Imperial College London and are unique to the College.
Please note that meeting academic requirements does not guarantee entry, it is only one of the factors taken into account when selectors make their decision: other factors such as suitability for the course, proficiency in English (you will need to have passed a College-approved English test), relevant work experience and references are also important.
Note for research (PhD) applicants
If you are applying for a postgraduate research degree and are asked to present formal evidence of English language ability, you will need to fulfill the Imperial College London Postgraduate English Requirement. This involves taking the Imperial College London initial English assessment (English Assessment 1) as soon as you start your PhD studies. After this assessment, internal classes (which are free of charge) may be recommended, and you may be reassessed at a later stage to evaluate your progress.
The aim of this requirement is to help and encourage you to work on your English language skills and to ensure that you receive the necessary support to complete your PhD successfully and communicate your work in the wider academic community. For more information please see the Centre for Academic English website.

Стратегическим научным партнером колледжа является Массачусетский технологический институт (MIT). С 2021 года математический факультет Imperial College London и Французский Национальный центр научных исследований совместно запустили исследовательскую лабораторию математики (UMI).
Имперский колледж Лондона принимает участие более чем в 80 программах Erasmus + с университетами Франции, Германии, Испании, Италии, Голландии, Швеции, Бельгии, Чехии, Португалии и Румынии. Сотрудничает с вузами Австралии, Японии, Сингапура, Швейцарии и США.

Имперский колледж: общая информация
История Imperial College London насчитывает чуть больше ста лет. В 1907 году были объединены несколько колледжей и новый вуз вошел в состав Лондонского университета.
Вначале это было высшее учебное заведение технического профиля, имеющее высокую репутацию. В годы Второй Мировой войны в вузовских лабораториях и исследовательских центрах создавалось новое эффективное оружие. После войны в состав колледжа была принята медицинская школа, а на рубеже третьего тысячелетия в его стенах была основана Имперская школа бизнеса, создан департамент нанотехнологий.
C Imperial College London связана деятельность 15 Нобелевских лауреатов, 70 членов Лондонского королевского сообщества. Здесь учились и работали известный бактериолог Александр Флеминг, зоолог Томас Гексли, писатель-фантаст Герберт Уэллс, премьер-министр Индии Раджив Ганди, Брайан Мэй – гитарист группы Queen.
Overview
Our MSc in Management is an intensive, one-year, full-time programme that prepares recent graduates for a wide range of careers in management, such as consultancy and financial services.
The programme content allows you to find solutions to real-world business challenges and covers the skills required for managing in turbulent environments.
The programme combines academic rigour and practical relevance. There is a careful balance of teaching and learning, individual and group work. Case study methodology and class-based discussions are used to strengthen the conceptual, analytical and problem-solving skills of the participants in real situations. In addition, there are regular seminars by external expert speakers.
Study programme
Before the programme begins you are expected to complete a number of online pre-study modules. These are designed to give you a basic knowledge of areas which will be covered by the programme throughout the academic year.
You then study a number of core modules which cover the fundamentals of the course. Then, from the Spring term through to the end of your studies you complete the integration and optional modules in specialist areas relevant to your degree.
Careers
Our graduates are well prepared for jobs in a wide range of industries in the UK, Europe and further afield, with employers including Coca-Cola, Deloitte and Microsoft.

Сколько средств понадобится на жизнь
Лондон считается одним из самых дорогих городов мира. Жилье в нем обходится в среднем на 100 фунтов в месяц дороже, чем в других городах Великобритании. Если снимать квартиру-студию, это обойдется в 110–200 фунтов в неделю (в районах, удаленных от центра).
Вот на что будут уходить деньги в расчете на месяц:
- Питание: 120–240 фунтов.
- Средства гигиены: 50–60 фунтов.
- Транспорт: проездной стоит минимум 86 фунтов.
- Мобильная связь и интернет: 40 фунтов.
Выгоднее жить в общежитии колледжа. К тому же в инфраструктуру Имперского колледжа входят 7 крупных библиотек, несколько спортивных залов, два студенческих бара.
Как организован учебный процесс
Сегодня в колледже обучается около 15 тысяч студентов. Подготовка ведется по программам для бакалавров, магистров, докторов. Процесс обучения нацелен на практическое применение полученных знаний в здравоохранении, промышленности, бизнесе. Широко используется система межпредметных связей, сотрудничество с другими вузами.
Работает довузовская подготовка для иностранцев. Она действует 1 год, после ее окончания выдают подготовительный сертификат UCL. Есть также языковая подготовка различной длительности, помогающая будущим студентам изучить язык.
Стоимость обучения для граждан ЕС и Великобритании – 12 132 долларов в год. Для иностранцев-не граждан ЕС стоимость зависит от направления обучения. В таблице цены приведены в фунтах стерлингов.
| Степень | Инженерия | Медицина | Ест.науки | Бизнес |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Бакалавр | 26000 | 25 750–39 150 | 25 500–26 500 | нет |
| Магистр | 27 100–30 600 | 12 730–29 100 | 18 800–26 100 | 24 000–39 000 |
| Доктор | 20 500–26 100 | 30000 | 19 800–22 500 | 0 (полное финансирование) |
Можно ли рассчитывать на стипендии и гранты
В Imperial College London нет стипендий, полностью оплачивающих обучение иностранных студентов-бакалавров. Тем не менее многие фонды и организации с удовольствием сотрудничают с университетом, предоставляя гранты и стипендии.
Это, например, . Предусмотрено 112 стипендий для тех, кто демонстрирует высокие академические показатели. Финансируются они исключительно за счет благотворительности бывших выпускников и составляют 1000 фунтов в год. Чтобы получить стипендию, студент подает заявку руководству своего факультета.
Гранты для магистров и докторов намного больше. Так, Chevening Scholarship предлагает грант величиной 64 тысячи фунтов стерлингов, что полностью покрывает стоимость проживания, обучения в университете.
Imperial Scholarship предоставляет грант до 60 тысяч фунтов.
Проблема в том, что такие выплаты получает ограниченное количество учащихся. Основное условие – отличная учеба и успехи в научных исследованиях.
