Teaching timetables

Your timetables will vary depending on which electives you select and your own personalised timetable will be viewable via your PC or mobile device once you have selected your electives. 

To help you choose electives, you can view the pdf timetables for the Autumn term.  These show 1) the core modules for your programme, and 2) a view of all possible combinations of electives, with with core modules highlighted. 

Autumn timetables will be available later.

Core modules for Autumn term

Please note:

• not all combinations of electives are possible and some may clash with core modules. Ideally you should not choose an elective that clashes with a core module, but if this is unavoidable, you must prioritise the core module and attend it live, and catch up with clashing elective sessions via panopto
• the timetables above currently show some duplicates where a class will be divided into individual study groups

On this page you can find links to useful information on mitigating circumstances. Please send mitigation forms to the student office mailbox: bg-studentoffice@imperial.ac.uk.
