The College was also shown to have the UK’s greatest concentration of high-impact research.

Imperial demonstrated improvement in every REF research area.

We are driving this evolution with a £2 billion investment in a new 23-acre integrated collaborative campus. South Kensington is our main campus and it is here that most undergraduate and postgraduate activity takes place. It’s a compact site in the heart of ‘Albertopolis’ and is home to a huge range of architectural styles from the Edwardian Royal School of Mines building to the ultra-modern Norman Foster-designed Business School. There’s plenty of green space too, including a beautiful landscaped square, with our famous Queen’s Tower at one end.
