To our Imperial community,
It has been announced that Imperial has leapt to 2nd place in the QS World University Rankings – becoming the top-ranked university in the UK and Europe.
This is a remarkable accomplishment, recognising many aspects of our institution – from our academic reputation, research excellence, educational environment, international networks, employer reputation, and our sustainability achievements. It is a testament to the quality and commitment of our entire community.
While high placement in rankings can be celebrated, what is at the heart of our success is you, the staff and students of Imperial. You ask big questions, tackle global-scale challenges and understand that progress and excellence require collaboration, imagination, and the willingness to take risks.
Your ambitions for Imperial’s work to benefit society are reflected in our strategy, Science for Humanity, which builds on our rich history, values, strengths, and differentiators, and captures our collective ambition to realise our full potential as a force for good in the world.
Every day, we are inspired to see Imperial students, colleagues, and partners come together to interrogate the forces that shape our world and address the challenges facing humanity and our planet.
Thank you and best wishes,
Hugh and Ian
Hugh Brady, President
Ian Walmsley, Provost
