Int'l tuition£42,700/yr
Acceptance rateNot reported

Tuition (2026-27) ranges from £42,700 (Mathematics) to £45,500 (Chemistry/Physics/Life Sciences/Computing) to £58,600 (Medicine) -- the fee-schedule hub page confirms this, though the exact per-faculty figures came from a summary of that page rather than each linked per-faculty PDF individually, so treat this as good-confidence but not verified page-by-page. Student size (22,525 total, 2024-25) comes from a summary of Imperial's own student-statistics pages. QS #2 (2026) is from an Imperial news release. THE #8 (2026) is confirmed from timeshighereducation.com. Guardian #6 (2026) is from other outlets' reporting. No official acceptance rate published.

Engineering

Verified

A*A*A or A*AAA including A* in Mathematics, A/A* in Physics, A in a third subject; IB 40 points (7 in HL Mathematics, 7 in HL Physics)

2027 entry

Imperial's own Aeronautics with Spacecraft Engineering MEng course page states the American Qualifications route directly: 5 APs at 5,5,5,5,5 including Calculus BC and Physics C (Mechanics or Electricity and Magnetism) plus three further relevant subjects, OR 3 APs at 5,5,5 on Calculus BC and one Physics C option plus an acceptable school-leaving qualification and SAT 1480+ or ACT 33+. All applicants sit the ESAT (Maths 1, Maths 2, Physics modules), with two 2027-entry test windows (12-16 October 2026, 4-8 January 2027) confirmed on the page. No UCAS course code published: the page states H401, identical to the existing plain Aeronautical Engineering MEng entry's own published code -- re-checked a second time rather than assumed to be an error, but two distinct courses can't genuinely share one UCAS code, so neither figure is trusted enough to store here. Application deadline: 13 January 2027, 18:00 UK time.

2027 entry

Imperial's own Mathematics with Statistics for Finance BSc course page confirms the A*A*A/IB 39 standard, the same figures as the Mathematics with Statistics entry -- another specialisation track off the core Mathematics offer despite the Finance-oriented name. Filed under 'Natural Sciences & Mathematics' rather than 'Economics', reflecting the core Mathematics degree structure. American Qualifications route: 5 APs at 5,5,5,5,5 including Calculus BC and one of Computer Science/Statistics/Physics C, OR 3 APs at 5,5,5 in the same subjects plus an acceptable school-leaving qualification and SAT 1480+ or ACT 33+. All applicants must sit the TMUA.

2027 entryUCAS · Apply by Jan 13

Imperial's own Medical Biosciences BSc course page (UCAS code B101) states the American Qualifications route directly: 5 APs at 5,5,5,4,4 including Biology, Chemistry, and Calculus BC or a relevant science subject, OR 3 APs at 5,5,4 including Biology and Chemistry plus an acceptable school-leaving qualification and SAT 1460+ or ACT 31+. Names no admissions test; the department assesses on educational history, personal statement, and reference, and 'generally' doesn't interview. Filed under 'Natural Sciences & Mathematics' rather than 'Medicine & Health Sciences' -- not a physician/GMC-registration-track course, the same reasoning this list already applies to Oxford's Biomedical Sciences and the existing Imperial Biochemistry/Biological Sciences entries. Application deadline confirmed directly: 13 January 2027, 18:00 UK time.

2026 entry (UCAT sat July-September 2026)UCAS · Apply by Oct 15

Imperial's own Medicine MBBS/BSc course page states US applicants need SAT 1470+ or ACT 32+ combined with an acceptable school-leaving qualification, OR 5 AP exams at 5,5,5,5,4 including grade 5 in Biology, grade 5 in Chemistry, and grade 5 in either Calculus BC or a relevant science subject. All applicants must independently register for and sit the UCAT. This is a genuinely notable exception within this list: Imperial's general international-applicants page (already used for the existing Computing BEng and Mechanical Engineering MEng entries) states plainly that Imperial does NOT accept SAT or ACT scores for undergraduate admission at all -- Medicine's own course page is a real, documented, course-specific departure from that general policy, not a research inconsistency.

Imperial's own Aeronautical Engineering MEng course page states only the A-level/IB standard and confirms the ESAT is required, but names no AP, SAT, or ACT figure anywhere -- a genuine gap distinct from the other Imperial engineering entries (EEE, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science), which all publish a real course-specific AP/SAT/ACT route. No direct SAT/ACT figure published. The page also states no explicit application deadline; the standard 13 January 2027, 18:00 UK time UCAS deadline confirmed identically across every other Imperial course is used here on that same-institution basis rather than left unstated.

All Computing applicants must also sit the TMUA. No SAT/ACT figure is published here since none exists to store -- this isn't a test-optional case, SAT/ACT simply isn't an accepted qualification at all.

This course's own page confirmed the A*A*A-A*AAA A-level-equivalent standard and that applicants must book the ESAT or TMUA admissions test, but did not list the specific AP subjects required for this course (unlike the existing Computing BEng entry, which does specify 5,5,5 including AP Calculus BC) -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published, since none are accepted, and no course-specific AP subject list published since it wasn't confirmed on this course's own page.
