Welcome letter from Head of Department, Professor Axel Gandy

Dear First Year Student,

Welcome to the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London!

We’re excited to have you join us at Imperial, where your dedication has earned you a well-deserved place. Starting university is a big step in your life, and we’re here to support you as you navigate this transition.

As you settle into university life, keep in mind that the learning experience here is distinct from what you’ve known in school. It’s a shift towards greater independence and personal responsibility. Embrace this change by making use of the resources available – attend lectures, explore our facilities, and don’t hesitate to seek assistance when needed. Balancing academics with your newfound freedom might be a challenge initially, but it’s also an opportunity for personal growth.

You’ve chosen a demanding course, and while it may pose challenges, remember that challenges are where true learning often occurs. Find your own rhythm, manage your time wisely, and stay curious.

Once again, welcome to Imperial!
