Imperial College London (Imperial) is a public research university in London, England. Its history began with Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, who envisioned an area for culture that included the Royal Albert Hall, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and royal colleges.[6][7] Established by royal charter in 1907, Imperial unified into one institution the Royal College of Science, the Royal School of Mines and the City and Guilds of London Institute.[8] In 1988, the Imperial College School of Medicine was formed as part of the college's Faculty of Medicine by merging with St Mary's Hospital Medical School. In 2004, Queen Elizabeth II opened the Imperial College Business School.
The university focuses on the four subjects of science, engineering, medicine and business, with an entrepreneurial culture.[9][10][11] The main campus is in South Kensington where most teaching and research takes place. A second campus in White City serves as a platform for innovation.[12] The college also operates teaching hospitals across London, forming an academic health science centre. It was previously a constituent college of the University of London and became an independent university in 2007.[13] Imperial also has an international community, with over 60% international students and around 140 countries represented on campus.[14][15]
