In Britain, although Imperial College has a shorter history than Oxford and Cambridge, since its establishment in 1907, it has quickly become one of the world's top universities with a strong royal background and strong financial strength.Therefore, there is a so-called "tripartite confrontation" in the British educational circles, which believes that Oxford is the best university for liberal arts, Cambridge is the best university for science, and Imperial College of Technology is the best university for engineering.Imperial College is closely connected with many large companies and has a high degree of industrialization, accounting for one seventh of the research funds in the UK.As one of the most prestigious engineering universities in Europe, Imperial College of Technology, like Oxford and Cambridge, not only has a high entrance threshold, but also has higher tuition fees than other universities. Some people call it the most expensive university in Britain.
Imperial College of Technology in 1996British Higher Education Foundation CommitteeIn the research evaluation, pure mathematics, applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biological science, statistical and computational research, computer science, material science, electrical and electronic engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, mining engineering, civil engineering, Pre Clinical Studies and other majors have all obtained 5-star evaluation (the score ranges from 5 stars to 1 star, and the maximum is 5 stars).
Imperial College has strong economic strength and is one of the UK's highest earning universities.In 2009-2010, the total revenue reached 660 million pounds, about US $1089 million, ranking fifth in the UK, including government, charities and commercial organizations.
