Postgraduate applicants – if you change your address or other contact details after you have made an application, you should update your details within Student e-Service. If you have not received your CID number and instructions on how to activate your e-Service account within 10 working days of submitting your application, please email the Registry Systems team, stating your full name, date of birth and course applied for.

Undergraduate applicants - you should ensure that you keep your contact details up to date via the online Tracking system on the UCAS website.

As much of the correspondence sent to applicants is transmitted via email, it is vital that your email address is kept up to date at all times and that you regularly check your email account.

Most postgraduate courses do not have a published formal closing date, but you should be aware that popular courses close as they become full.

Please therefore ensure that you make your application for these courses as early  as possible, particularly if you are intending to apply for funding, and preferably by 30 July (overseas/EU applicants) or 1 September (UK applicants) to avoid disappointment. Funded PhD Studentships do have formal application deadlines which are accessed via Departmental websites.

Detailed course information, including entry requirements, can be found on the Postgraduate Prospectus.

Should you require further information, you may find this on the relevant Departmental website.

Overseas applicants can find information  on the eligibility of many overseas qualifications by visiting our Country Index

Should you wish to discuss entry requirements in more detail, you should, in the first instance, contact the appropriate admissions team.

Please note that it is not possible for Imperial to provide a pre-application assessment of your qualifications or comment on the suitability of an individual for a particular programme of study. The minimum entry requirements of each programme should give you an indication as to whether or not you should apply.

If you unable to attend a College Open Day, you are welcome to come and have a look round the grounds of the College during working hours. For reasons of safety and security, many areas within Departments will be restricted and you will not have access to areas such as laboratories, workshops, lecture theatres and the College’s libraries. The halls of residence can only be visited during an official College or Departmental Open Day

See details of Campus tours and all Undergraduate and Postgraduate Open Days

Although we would recommend attending one of the main College Open Days, if you are unable to do so, you may wish to try and arrange an individual visit. Most Departments can arrange this if given advance notice. This type of visit cannot be guaranteed and may not be possible at all times of the year, or at short notice, as it will depend upon the availability of staff within the Department concerned.
