Imperial College London is a world-leading public research university in South Kensington, London, focusing on science, engineering, medicine and business, and is ranked 2nd in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2027. It is highly selective: Bangladeshi HSC is not on Imperial's list of accepted school-leaving qualifications, so undergraduate applicants from Bangladesh normally need A-levels (typical offers AAA to A*A*A), the IB (38-42) or AP. For taught Master's, Imperial normally expects the equivalent of a UK upper-second (2:1) degree, and its published Bangladesh guidance is a 4-year Bachelor's from BUET with at least 75%; graduates of other Bangladeshi universities are assessed individually. Fees are high (about £42,700-£45,500 a year for most undergraduate courses and £45,000-£51,000 for most MSc courses in 2026-27), but the new Imperial Inspires programme offers at least 300 scholarships of £15,000 a year to international students for 2027 entry. Students start in late September or early October, and there is no January intake for standard programmes.
