The Department

Second year undergraduate students in a lab practical working on their experiments

The Department of Life Sciences at Imperial is one of the largest such departments in Europe, with over £100m worth of current funding supporting world class research projects. The Department is broadly structured around three research divisions:

  • Cell and Molecular Biology
  • Ecology and Evolution
  • Molecular Biosciences

We have outstanding facilities for teaching and research. These include sophisticated equipment for biological mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance studies, facilities for genomic and cell biology studies, the most modern microscopes, and tissue culture suites.

We offer a wide range of undergraduate degree programmes allowing students the opportunity to tailor their education to their own interests. Our programmes and partnerships with industry, other institutions overseas and other departments at Imperial mean that we are able to offer many opportunities for study periods overseas, a year in industry or research, and interdisciplinary studies such as management or learning a foreign language as part of your degree programme.

There are excellent career opportunities for life sciences graduates. Many of our graduates follow industrial careers, particularly in the research and management areas of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food technology, brewing, biodeterioration, agriculture, and pest, disease and environmental management. Similar opportunities exist for life scientists in government and independent laboratories involved with medical research, public health, forensic investigation, parasitology, crop pest and disease research, conservation, and pollution. Some of our graduates also go on to work in medical careers, become teachers, or even work in the media.
