[17]
Historia
Siglo 19
El primer colegio que llevó a la formación de Imperial fue el Real Colegio de Química , fundado en 1845, con el apoyo del Príncipe Alberto y el parlamento . [9] Esto se fusionó en 1853 en lo que se conoció como la Real Escuela de Minas . [18] La escuela de medicina tiene sus raíces en muchas escuelas diferentes de Londres, la más antigua de las cuales es la Escuela de Medicina del Hospital Charing Cross, que se remonta a 1823, seguida de la enseñanza comenzando en el Hospital de Westminster en 1834 y el Hospital de St Mary en 1851. [19] [20] [21]
En 1851, la gran exposición fue organizada como una exposición de la cultura y la industria por Henry Cole y por el príncipe Alberto, esposo de la monarca reinante del Reino Unido, la reina Victoria . Un éxito enormemente popular y financiero, las ganancias de la Gran Exposición fueron designadas para desarrollar un área para el avance cultural y científico en South Kensington . [22] En los siguientes 6 años se abrió el Victoria and Albert Museum y Science Museum , junto con nuevas instalaciones en 1871 para el Royal College of Chemistry y en 1881 para la Royal School of Mines, la apertura del Museo de Historia Natural en 1881. y en 1888 el Instituto Imperial . [23]
En 1881, la Escuela Normal de Ciencias se estableció en South Kensington bajo el liderazgo de Thomas Huxley , asumiendo la responsabilidad de la enseñanza de las ciencias naturales y la agricultura de la Royal School of Mines. [24] La escuela pasó a llamarse Royal College of Science por consentimiento real en 1890. [25] La Institución Central de la Ciudad y los Gremios del Instituto de Londres , fue abierta como una escuela de educación técnica en Exhibition Road por el Príncipe de Gales a principios de 1885. [10]
siglo 20
A principios del siglo XX, existía la preocupación de que Gran Bretaña se estuviera quedando atrás de Alemania en educación científica y técnica. En 1904 se creó un comité departamental en la Junta de Educación para estudiar el futuro del Royal College of Science. Un informe publicado en 1906 pedía el establecimiento de una institución que unificara el Royal College of Science y la Royal School of Mines, así como, si se pudiera llegar a un acuerdo con el City and Guilds of London Institute, su Central Technical College. [26] [27]
El 8 de julio de 1907, el rey Eduardo VII otorgó una Carta Real que establece el Colegio Imperial de Ciencia y Tecnología. Esto incorporó la Royal School of Mines y el Royal College of Science. También hizo disposiciones para que City and Guilds College se uniera una vez que se cumplieran las condiciones relativas a su gobierno, así como para que Imperial se convirtiera en una facultad de la Universidad de Londres . [28] El colegio se unió a la Universidad de Londres el 22 de julio de 1908, y el City and Guilds College se unió en 1910. [10] [13] El campus principal del Imperial College se construyó junto a los edificios del Imperial Institute , el nuevo edificio. porque el Royal College of Science se abrió frente a él en 1906, y la primera piedra para el edificio de la Royal School of Mines fue colocada por el rey Eduardo VII en julio de 1909. [26]
Como los estudiantes de Imperial tenían que estudiar por separado para los títulos de Londres, en enero de 1919, los estudiantes y exalumnos votaron a favor de una petición para hacer de Imperial una universidad con sus propios poderes para otorgar títulos, independiente de la Universidad de Londres. [29] [30] En respuesta, la Universidad de Londres cambió sus regulaciones en 1925 para que los cursos impartidos solo en Imperial fueran examinados por la universidad, permitiendo a los estudiantes obtener una licenciatura. [31]
En octubre de 1945, el rey Jorge VI y la reina Isabel visitaron Imperial para conmemorar el centenario del Royal College of Chemistry, que era la más antigua de las instituciones que se unieron para formar Imperial College. El "Día de la Conmemoración", que lleva el nombre de esta visita, se celebra cada octubre como la principal ceremonia de graduación de la universidad. [32] [33] La universidad también adquirió una estación de campo de biología en Silwood Park cerca de Ascot, Berkshire en 1947 [34]
Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial , volvió a surgir la preocupación de que Gran Bretaña se estuviera quedando atrás en ciencia, esta vez en Estados Unidos. El Informe Percy de 1945 y el Comité Barlow de 1946 pedían un equivalente al " MIT británico ", respaldado por científicos influyentes como políticos de la época, incluidos Lord Cherwell , Sir Lawrence Bragg y Sir Edward Appleton . [35] [36] El Comité de Becas de la Universidad opusieron fuertemente sin embargo, [35] y así se alcanzó un compromiso en 1953, donde Imperial permanecería dentro de la universidad, pero el doble de tamaño en los próximos años diez. [37] [38] La expansión llevó a la construcción de varios edificios nuevos. Estos incluyeron el edificio Hill en 1957 y el edificio Physics en 1960, y la finalización del East Quadrangle, construido en cuatro etapas entre 1959 y 1965. El trabajo de construcción también significó la demolición del edificio City and Guilds College en 1962–63. y el edificio del Instituto Imperial en 1967. [39] La oposición de la Comisión Real de Bellas Artes y otros significó que la Torre de la Reina se mantuvo, con trabajos realizados entre 1966 y 1968 para hacerla independiente. [40] La Reina abrió en 1965 nuevos laboratorios de bioquímica, establecidos con el apoyo de una subvención de 350.000 libras esterlinas de la Fundación Wolfson . [41] [42]
En 1988, Imperial se fusionó con St Mary's Hospital Medical School bajo la Imperial College Act 1988. Las enmiendas a la carta real cambiaron el nombre formal de la institución a The Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine e hicieron de St Mary's un colegio constituyente. [43] A esto le siguieron las fusiones con el Instituto Nacional del Corazón y los Pulmones en 1995 y la Escuela de Medicina Charing Cross y Westminster, la Escuela de Medicina Real de Postgrado y el Instituto de Obstetricia y Ginecología en 1997, con la Ley del Colegio Imperial de 1997 que estableció formalmente el Instituto Imperial. Facultad de Medicina. [44]
Siglo 21
En 2003, el Consejo Privado concedió a Imperial poderes para otorgar títulos por derecho propio . En 2004, la reina Isabel II inauguró la Imperial College Business School y una nueva entrada principal en Exhibition Road . [45] [46] El Centro de Investigación de Energía del Reino Unido también se estableció en 2004 y abrió su sede en Imperial. El 9 de diciembre de 2005, Imperial anunció que comenzaría las negociaciones para separarse de la Universidad de Londres. [47] Imperial se independizó completamente de la Universidad de Londres en julio de 2007. [14] [48] [49]
En abril de 2011, Imperial y King's College London se unieron al Centro de Investigación e Innovación Médica del Reino Unido como socios con un compromiso de £ 40 millones cada uno para el proyecto. Posteriormente, el centro pasó a llamarse Instituto Francis Crick y se inauguró el 9 de noviembre de 2016. Es el laboratorio biomédico individual más grande de Europa. La universidad comenzó a mudarse al nuevo campus de White City en 2016, con el lanzamiento del Innovation Hub. [50] Esto fue seguido por la apertura del Centro de Investigación de Ciencias Moleculares para el Departamento de Química , inaugurado oficialmente por el alcalde de Londres , Sadiq Khan en 2019. [51] El campus de White City también incluye otro centro biomédico financiado por £ 40 Millones de donaciones del ex alumno Sir Michael Uren . [52]

[56]
ciudad Blanca
Un segundo campus importante ha comenzado a abrirse en White City , al oeste del campus principal, proporcionando un centro de innovación para la universidad, que incluye instalaciones de investigación y espacio de comercialización, así como alojamiento para posgrados. [57] El departamento de química trasladó gran parte de su investigación al nuevo Centro de Investigación de Ciencias Moleculares en el campus en 2018, [51] con más departamentos y socios de la industria que se mudaron al campus y sus alrededores en los próximos años. [58] El campus también alberga Invention Rooms, un espacio de hackers universitarios y un centro de alcance comunitario. [59] El área alberga una serie de empresas de biotecnología en la Incubadora Imperial White City y el centro de biotecnología OpenCell . [60] [61]

Research
Imperial submitted a total of 1,257 staff across 14 units of assessment to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment.[101] This found that 91% of Imperial's research is “world-leading” (46% achieved the highest possible 4* score) or “internationally excellent” (44% achieved 3*), giving an overall GPA of 3.36.[102][103] In rankings produced by Times Higher Education based upon the REF results Imperial was ranked 2nd overall.[102][103] Imperial is also widely known to have been a critical contributor of the discovery of penicillin,[104] the invention of fiber optics,[105] and the development of holography.[106] The college promotes research commercialisation, partly through its dedicated technology transfer company, Imperial Innovations, which has given rise to a large number of spin-out companies based on academic research.[107][108] Imperial College has a long-term partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, that dates back from World War II.[70][71][72] The United States is the college's top collaborating foreign country, with more than 15,000 articles co-authored by Imperial and U.S.-based authors over the last 10 years.[109]
In January 2018, the mathematics department of Imperial and the French National Center for Scientific Research launched UMI Abraham de Moivre at Imperial, a joint research laboratory of mathematics focused on unsolved problems and bridging British and French scientific communities.[110] The Fields medallists Cédric Villani and Martin Hairer hosted the launch presentation.[111] The CNRS-Imperial partnership started a joint PhD program in mathematics, and further expanded in June 2020 to include other departments.[112][113][114] In October 2018, Imperial College launched the Imperial Cancer Research UK Center, a research collaboration that aims to find innovative ways to improve the precision of cancer treatments, inaugurated by former Vice President of the United States Joe Biden as part of his Biden Cancer Initiative.[115][116]
Imperial was one of the ten leading contributors to the NASA InSight Mars lander which landed on planet Mars in November 2018, with the college logo appearing on the craft.[117][118] InSight's Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure, developed at Imperial, measured the first likely marsquake reading in April 2019.[119][120][121] In 2019, it was revealed that the Blackett Laboratory would be constructing an instrument for the European Space Agency Solar Orbiter in a mission to study the Sun, which launched in February 2020.[122][123] The laboratory is also designing part of the US Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.[124]
In early 2020, immunology research at the Faculty of Medicine focused on SARS-CoV-2 under the leadership of Professor Robin Shattock as part of the college's COVID-19 Response Team, including the search of a cheap vaccine which started human trials on 15 June 2020.[125][126][127][128] Professor Neil Ferguson's 16 March report entitled "Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce COVID- 19 mortality and healthcare demand"[129] was described in a 17 March The New York Times article, as the coronavirus "report that jarred the U.S. and the U.K. to action".[130] Since 18 May 2020, Imperial College's Dr. Samir Bhatt has been advising the state of New York for its reopening plan.[131] Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo said that "the Imperial College model, as we've been following this for weeks, was the best, most accurate model."[131] The hospitals from the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, which have been caring for COVID-19 infected patients, partnered with Microsoft to use their HoloLens when treating those patients, reducing the amount of time spent by staff in high-risk areas by up to 83%, as well as saving up to 700 items of PPE per ward, per week.[132]
Admissions
|
For the 2019 entry, the ratio of applicants to admissions was 8.5:1 for undergraduates and 7.2:1 for postgraduates.[136][137] For 2019 entry, the undergraduate courses with the lowest ratios of applicants to admissions were computing (19.7 applicants per place) followed by mechanical engineering (11.1:1) and mathematics (10.9:1).[136][137] The highest was bioengineering (3.6:1).[136][137]
Undergraduates beginning their studies at Imperial in 2018–19 had the 5th highest average UCAS Tariff in the UK, at 190 points.[138]
Imperial is among the most international universities in the United Kingdom,[139][140] with 50% of students from the UK, 16% of students from the EU, and 34% of students from outside the UK or EU.[139][141][142] The student body is 39% female and 61% male.[142] 36.5% of Imperial's undergraduates are privately educated, the fourth highest proportion amongst mainstream British universities.[140]
Libraries
The college's Central Library is located next to Queen's Lawn and contains the main corpus of the college's collection. It previously also housed the Science Museum's library until 2014.[143] The Fleming library is located at St Mary's in Paddington, originally the library of St Mary's Hospital Medical School, with other hospital campuses also having college libraries.[144]
Medicine
The Imperial Faculty of Medicine was formed through mergers between Imperial and the St Mary's, Charing Cross and Westminster, and Royal Postgraduate medical schools and has six teaching hospitals. It accepts more than 300 undergraduate medical students per year and has around 321 taught and 700 research full-time equivalent postgraduate students.
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust was formed on 1 October 2007 by the merger of Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust (Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital and Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital) and St Mary's NHS Trust (St. Mary's Hospital and Western Eye Hospital) with Imperial College London Faculty of Medicine.[145] It is an academic health science centre and manages five hospitals: Charing Cross Hospital, Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, St Mary's Hospital, and Western Eye Hospital.

Controversias
Accusations of bullying
In 2003, it was reported that one third of female academics "believe that discrimination or bullying by managers has held back their careers".[148] Imperial has since won the Athena SWAN Award, which recognises employment practices that are supportive of the careers of women in science, technology, engineering and maths.
In 2007, concerns were raised about the methods that were being used to fire people in the Faculty of Medicine.[149][150] In 2014, Stefan Grimm, of the Department of Medicine, was found dead after being threatened with dismissal for failure to raise enough grant money.[151] His last email before his death accused his employers of bullying by demanding that he should get grants worth at least £200,000 per year.[152][153] The college announced an internal inquiry into Stefan Grimm's death, and found that the performance metrics for his position were unreasonable, with new metrics for performance being needed.[154]
The issue of bullying within the staff at Imperial resurfaced in November 2020 when Alex Sobel, the Labour MP for Leeds North West asked the Secretary of State for Education in a written question on 24 November what steps the Office for Students had taken in response to a report by Jane McNeill QC dated 25 August which found that bullying had taken place at Imperial under the President (Alice Gast) and the Chief Financial Officer. Michelle Donelan, the Conservative MP for Chippenham, responded for the Department for Education that "The Office for Students (OfS) is considering the information it has received in relation to this matter, in line with their normal processes. As is standard practice, the OfS cannot comment on individual cases".[155] The college was accused of a cover-up by the Universities and Colleges Union in December 2020 when it refused to publish McNeill's report, even in redacted form. The Chair of Council said that the report was kept confidential to preserve the anonymity of people who gave evidence, that its recommendations had been accepted by the senior leadership team, and that these recommendations were being implemented in full. A disciplinary panel decided that Gast's dismissal as president was not warranted and spokesperson for the college said that she had "offered wholehearted apologies to those affected".[156]
On 14 February 2021, it was announced that the OfS would formally investigate allegations of bullying.[157]

Student body
For the 2019/20 academic year, Imperial had a total full-time student body of 19,400, consisting of 10,475 undergraduate students and 8,925 postgraduates.[5] 50.7% of the student body is from outside of the UK.[158] 32% of all full-time students came from outside the European Union in 2013–14,[159] and around 13% of the International students had Chinese nationality in 2007–08.[160]
Imperial's male to female ratio for undergraduate students is uneven at approximately 64:36 overall[160] and 5:1 or higher in some engineering courses. However, medicine has an approximate 1:1 ratio with biology degrees tending to be higher.[161]
Imperial College Union
Imperial College Union is the students' union and is run by five full-time sabbatical officers elected from the student body for a tenure of one year, and a number of permanent members of staff. It is split into constituent unions aligned with the faculties of the college, carrying on the association with the original constituent colleges of Imperial, the Royal College of Science Union, City and Guilds College Union, Royal School of Mines Students' Union and Imperial College School of Medicine Students' Union. The Union is given a large subvention by the university, much of which is spent on maintaining over 300 clubs, projects and societies.[162] Examples of notable student groups and projects are Project Nepal which sends Imperial College students to work on educational development programmes in rural Nepal[163] and the El Salvador Project, a construction based project in Central America.[164] The Union also hosts sports-related clubs such as Imperial College Boat Club and Imperial College Gliding Club.
The Union operates on two sites, with most events at the Union Building on Beit Quad at South Kensington, with mostly medical school events at the Reynold's bar, Charing Cross.
Facilities
Sports facilities at Imperial's London campuses include four gyms, including the main Ethos gym at the South Kensington Campus, two swimming pools and two sports halls.[165] Imperial has additional sports facilities at the Heston and Harlington sports grounds.
On the South Kensington campus, there are a total of six music practice rooms which consist of upright pianos for usage by people of any grade, and grand pianos which are exclusively for people who have achieved Grade 8 or above.[166]
There are two student bars on the South Kensington campus, one at the Imperial College Union and one at Eastside.[167] There are a number of pubs and bars on campus and also surrounding the campus, which become a popular social activity for Imperial's students. The Pewter tankard collection at Imperial College Union is the largest in Europe, with the majority of clubs and societies having tankards associated with their clubs.[168]
Student media
Imperial College Radio
Imperial College Radio (ICRadio) was founded in November 1975 with the intention of broadcasting to the student halls of residence from a studio under Southside, actually commencing broadcasts in late 1976. It now broadcasts from the West Basement of Beit Quad over the internet.[169]
Imperial College TV
Imperial College TV (ICTV) is Imperial College Union's TV station, founded in 1969 and operated from a small TV studio in the Electrical Engineering block. The department had bought an early AMPEX Type A 1-inch videotape recorder and this was used to produce an occasional short news programme which was then played to students by simply moving the VTR and a monitor into a common room. A cable link to the Southside halls of residence was laid in a tunnel under Exhibition Road in 1972. Besides the news, early productions included a film of the Queen opening what was then called College Block.
Felix Newspaper
Felix is weekly student newspaper, first released on 9 December 1949.[170] In addition to news, Felix also carries comic strips, features, opinions, puzzles and reviews, plus reports of trips and Imperial College sporting events.
Student societies
Imperial College Boat Club
The Imperial College Boat Club is the rowing club of Imperial and was founded on 12 December 1919. The college's boat house is located in Putney on the Thames, and was recently refurbished, reopening in 2014.[171] The club has a number of notable accolades, such as three alumni of the college in the gold medal winning GB 8+ at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games.[citation needed]
Sports
Imperial College has over 60 sports clubs,[172] of which many participate in the British Universities and Colleges Sport Association leagues such as American Football, Rugby, Badminton, Lacrosse, Football, Ice Hockey, and many others.[172]
Exploration Club
Imperial's Exploration Board was established in 1957 to assist students with a desire for exploration. Trips have included Afghanistan, Alaska, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Fiji, the Himalayas, Iran, Morocco, Norway, Tanzania, Thailand, Ukraine, and the Yukon.[173]
Dramatic Society
The Imperial College Dramatic Society (DramSoc[174]) is one of two major theatrical arts societies, with the other being the Musical Theatre Society, and it was founded in 1912.[175] The society puts on three major plays each year, in addition to several smaller fringe productions. It is additionally one of the London-based dramatic societies to participate in the London Student Drama Festival,[176] and regularly attends the Edinburgh Fringe. DramSoc is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the Union's theatrical space, the Union Concert Hall.
The Techtonics
The Techtonics are an all-male a cappella group from Imperial College London, and are a part of the Imperial College A Cappella Society.[177] The group was formed in 2008, and has since risen to prominence in the world a cappella scene. The group is best known for winning the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in 2016.[178]
Student housing
Imperial College owns and manages twenty-three halls of residence in Inner London, Acton, and Ascot. Over three thousand rooms are available, guaranteeing first year undergraduates a place in College residences.
The majority of halls offer single or twin accommodation with some rooms having en suite facilities. Bedrooms are provided with basic furniture and with access to shared kitchens and bathrooms. All rooms come with internet access and access to the Imperial network.[179] Most of them are considered among the newest student halls at London universities.
Most students in college or university accommodation are first-year undergraduates, as they are granted a room once they have selected Imperial as their firm offer with UCAS. The majority of older students and postgraduates find accommodation in the private sector, help for which is provided by the college private housing office. However a handful of students may continue to live in halls in later years if they take the position of a "hall senior", and places are available for a small number of returning students in the Evelyn Garden halls.[180] Some students also live in International Students House, London.
