Please note that we are only able to book rooms six months in advance, so some dates may be subject to change depending on availability.

The number of requests we receive each year exceeds the number of visit days we have available, so we have some priority measures in place to assess school suitability for on-campus activities.

As the Outreach Team coordinates these visits, we particularly encourage state schools with a high proportion of students receiving free school meals/who are eligible for pupil premium to request to book. We also consider school attainment and school location (looking at POLAR/IMD measures).

Please note that Imperial's Recruitment Team run visits for school groups too. If your school does not meet the priority criteria above, we recommend applying for a visit with them. We also offer self-guided tours of campus.

Imperial also runs the Newlands Lecture Series for students in years 10 – 13, their teachers and parents. The annual lecture is free to attend, but spaces are limited in the lecture theatre, and are available on a first-booking basis.

To request a visit with us, please complete the Outreach Campus Visits 2024/2025 request form.

We are only able to consider your request if it is submitted at least two months before the date you would like to attend.

Please note that completion of the request form does not guarantee a visit. We will prioritise applications based on the above criteria, and let successful schools know at least 2 months in advance of the session that they have been selected.

Please note, for STEM Lectures, schools will only be able to attend one of the three events to ensure we reach a wide range of state schools and pupils from across the country. The maximum number of places per school is 30 students plus teachers.
