Imperial College London Admissions 2026: Application Deadline, Eligibility & Fees

• I did not receive a scholarship, and none of my friends did either. I do not have detailed information about the scholarships. The UK government provides a few scholarships, too, such as Chevening.
• For our department, there was a DeepMind Scholarship that covered a student's all costs, including tuition and living costs. Only one person received this scholarship, but I do not know who.

• Not my batchmates, but my juniors from India did – Dean J Alero Thomas and India Futures scholarship (around 10k pounds each)
• Very few. I was invited to apply for two – the Faculty of Medicine scholarship and Dean J Alero one – but did not get awarded
• It should be noted that for PhD funding, overseas scholarships are very, very limited as compared to home students, as international fees are higher.

• No, I did not receive a scholarship, as they are not available for international students mostly. My batchmates also did not receive scholarships if they were international, but local students got financial aid depending on household income.
• I don't know how many students get scholarships or how much money they get in scholarships because, in general, there are not many.

• I did not receive a scholarship, as I applied pretty late, and by then the scholarship deadlines had passed
• Most of batchmates did not receive a scholarship
• The only people that I know who received scholarship were from underprivileged backgrounds and had a genuine need for a scholarship without which they would be unable to study at Imperial (even with student loans)

• I personally did not receive any scholarship for my course.
• There are a few scholarships available at Imperial, but they are very competitive and depend on factors like academic excellence, leadership, and financial need.
• Some of my batchmates did receive partial scholarships, but the number of students who get them is quite limited compared to the total class size.
• The typical award amount varies, but most of them cover only a portion of the tuition fee rather than the full cost.

• Yes, there is scholarship available for the course like the DeepMind Scholarship (But Only for Girls)- It waives off the entire tuition fees. In my class there are 2 people who had received this.
• Also there are other scholarships from different government agencies.
• For Indians there is the "Future Leaders Scholarship program" given to a few students from any STEM course.
   

• Yes, as mentioned previously, I was awarded a Chevening Scholarship by UK government.
• Would recommend to go through - https://www.chevening.org/ for more information.
• This included Tuition fee, monthly stipend along with flight tickets from home country to place of education (in my case from Jaipur to London). In summary, my entire expenses were covered.
• Yes, a few others got other financial supports in terms of tuition fee waiver or college scholarships etc.

• Nope, I did not receive any scholarship.
• Yes 2 of them from my class received scholarships from a batch of 80 students.
• Only 5-10 students receive scholarships on a yearly base and it's a very specific scholarship.
• Only limited students get it and on very strict conditions. It's super hard to get one. And we have to apply for it early when the college applications starts.

I chose Imperial because of its ranking and because I wanted to gain experience in coding, which this course revolves around. I knew studying in MSc would help me position myself better in the market. I chose to come to this university because it is in one of the best parts of London and hence would be safe. The university is working towards sustainability and business plays a major role in this, this course had electives that fit well with what I want to do in the future like sustainable finance, fintech, analytics, banking, innovation and Python for finance. There were multiple career fairs and many alumni events that gave us exposure. They also held lots of social events in museums and Hyde Park to network with one another while also having a good time.

I picked the university cause it was highly ranked globally and in my course. Additionally, the course structure covered all the topics I wanted to study and London was one of the top cities I was looking at and wanted to be in. My experience was great, met loads of interesting people and felt very intellectually stimulated.
