Welcome to Imperial. We are a world-leading university for science, technology, engineering, medicine and business (STEMB), where scientific imagination leads to world-changing impact.

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.

We use science to try to understand more of the universe, and improve the lives of more people in it. Across our London campuses, and throughout our international network, we ask bigger questions and so we shape the future.
