The main College Postgraduate Open Day is held in
December. Individual departments and divisions
may also hold open days at other times. Please see
www.imperial.ac.uk/events for details.
Open days
Our research expertise covers all the major disciplines
taught at the College, and there is extensive activity
in many interdisciplinary areas. Full details of all
research opportunities can be found at
www.imperial.ac.uk/research.
Innovative research at Imperial explores the interfaces
between science, medicine, engineering and management.
Boosted by a dynamic enterprise culture, it delivers
practical solutions that enhance the quality of life and the
environment. In the most recent Research Assessment
Exercise 75 per cent of staff achieved the top (5*) rating,
the highest proportion in any UK university.

All postgraduate taught courses are recognised for the
award of either the Diploma of the Imperial College (DIC), a
Master’s degree of the University of London (MSc, MRes or
MBA), or both. See inside for a full list of courses available.
Taught courses
Imperial is a world-leading sciencebased university whose reputation for
excellence in teaching and research
attracts students and staff of the
highest international quality.
We offer an extensive programme of postgraduate taught
courses—leading to Research Master’s (MRes), Master’s
(MSc), MBA and postgraduate Diploma qualifications and
there are wide ranging opportunities for MPhil/PhD
research studies, including integrated four-year PhD
programmes. These New Route PhD programmes enhance
students’ expertise by supplementing their research work
with professional training in academic, generic and
transferable skills. (See the Graduate Schools’ websites
for details).
Many of our postgraduate programmes have funding
attached to them and students can apply for Imperial
College awards as well as external studentships.
The Graduate Schools
Graduate School activities
Transferable skills courses
The Graduate Schools provide a suite of academic training
courses in transferable skills such as teamwork, personal
organisation and effectiveness, research ethics, writing
skills, presentation skills and thesis writing. There are also
a number of optional workshops and lectures on a wide
variety of subjects (for example, career planning,
entrepreneurship and information retrieval). Most first
year students are required to attend a number of these
courses prior to transfer to PhD status.
Social activities
Life as a postgraduate student is very different from life as
an undergraduate and Imperial has set up a network of
support mechanisms to ensure you achieve your full
potential. The Graduate Schools are a fundamental part of
this network and are here to enhance your learning
experience.
As soon as you begin your postgraduate studies at
Imperial you automatically become a member of one of the
two Graduate Schools. Membership means you are part of
a wider community, broadening and enriching your
experience at Imperial by interaction with students across
disciplinary boundaries.
The Graduate School of Life Sciences and Medicine
(GSLSM) includes all postgraduate students from the
departments and divisions in the Faculties of Life Sciences
and of Medicine. The Graduate School of Engineering and
Physical Sciences (GSEPS) incorporates students from the
departments and centres in the Faculties of Engineering
and of Physical Sciences, as well as from Tanaka Business
School and the Humanities Programme.
www.imperial.ac.uk/pgoptions
We organise social activities throughout the year to promote
discussion and the exchange of ideas across disciplines.
These include distinguished guest lectures, welcome events
and a research symposium—with a student poster
competition and a keynote speaker.
Quality assurance
We monitor and enhance the quality of postgraduate
education. We are responsible for the regular review of
existing taught course programmes and for considering
and initiating proposals for new postgraduate courses.
