My review is based on facts finding and visiting this university for events. I’m still looking into all the available courses in various universities across UK so don’t study here yet. This top UK university is right in the middle of London city. A lot of facilities appear to be in the need of renovations and upgrades. Professors are fantastic and courses are up to date and quite interesting. Students look happy and proud!
Imperial College London was founded by great Prince Albert as a part of Albertopolis
Following the success of the 1851 Great Exhibition, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert wanted to invest the proceeds into a completely new brand, world-class educational yet cultural quarter for the arts and science. Named as Albertopolis, the entire area was centred along with the Exhibition Road in South Kensington, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Royal Albert Hall, the Victoria, and Albert Museum. In 1887, Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone and opened the Imperial Institute but after merging with the several royal colleges, it becomes the Imperial College London.
In July 1907, the Imperial Institute and the Royal Colleges were merged and formed the Imperial College London. From its commencement, this university was an important member of the University of London. However, right after 100 years, ICL left the hand of the University of London in 2007.
ICL is home to the Parkinson’s and MS Tissue Bank, collection of the “central nervous system tissue samples” donated by people with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and related issues. Over 1,650 specimens are stored with samples at -80 degrees that are used in research projects at above 100 institutions all across the globe.
The Grantham Institute for Climate Change and Environment was founded in 2007. It is one of the six cross-departmental centres majorly focusing on particular societal issues. It was formed with the help of a multi-million pounds donation from the Grantham Foundation for the safety of our environment. It is the largest private funding given to climate change-related research work in the UK.
Imperial College London is steeped in history. Besides, it is one of the best universities in the whole UK to study in as it has a huge variety of courses.
