Beyond your first week

Supporting you to be successful personally and academically beyond your first week at Imperial

Starting your time at Imperial is exciting and busy, but it's important to take some time to look after yourself and take steps to set yourself up for future success beyond your first weeks. Imperial is an academically challenging environment, but your wellbeing, physical, and mental health is extremely important. We also can't recommend more strongly that you get involved in opportunities available to you outside of your academic course in order to support your personal and professional development.

Have a look below to see how Imperial supports your success so that you can succeed academically while maintaining good wellbeing.

Supporting your academic achievement

Being successful in your academics at Imperial isn't about working as hard as physically possible. It is important to ensure you are working in a way to maximise your achievement while not burning out. The Imperial Success Guide (for undergraduates and postgraduates) provides guidance on how to do just that.
