• Meet BOTH of the Academic and English Language requirements (see below for details) in your application, before submission.

Academic requirements

• Provide evidence of passing an undergraduate Bioscience module e.g. with a results transcript.

You will need to evidence how you meet one of the following criteria:

• IELTS (a score of 6.5 overall with a minimum score of 6.0 in all elements)
• TOEFL (a score of 92 overall with a minimum score of 20 in all elements)
• Other English language qualification listed on the College’s English-language requirement page at the 'standard' level.

If you are not sure whether you meet the above criteria or have any questions about the entry requirements please email the team (fomsummerschool@imperial.ac.uk) who will be able to help further.

Visas 

Please check the Imperial visa webpages and the British government website to determine whether you will need a visa to attend the summer school. Our summer school is considered to be a 'short course' as its duration is less than 6 months.

If you need a visa we advise you to apply for the summer school as early as possible to leave you with enough time for your visa application process. Checking whether you need a visa or applying for a visa remains your responsibility.
