Get answers to your questions about life at Imperial from upper year students who have been there before! Learn what they wish they knew in their first year, how they balance social life with coursework, realistic study schedules, and how they found and applied for internships.

The Bridges Programme is designed to support undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds and identities within the Faculty of Natural Sciences in their transition from school into University and strengthen the networks of students and staff across all years.   Our goal is to ensure that all students feel a strong sense of belonging and have the resources they need to thrive both academically and socially during their time at Imperial. 

Peer guides are available to share their experiences and insights to help you navigate various aspects of university life, such as maintaining a work/life balance, applying to internships, and helping acclimatize to university life.

There are also Bridges events and workshops throughout the academic year, which are designed to support you in enhancing your academic skills, build your networks and connect with other students from similar backgrounds.
