1. Engineering
This highly interactive subject will expose you to a variety of engineering disciplines. Through specialist workshops, lectures and seminars, you will develop key skills and work in groups to find solutions to current engineering challenges. The programme will provide unique insight from Imperial academics with different engineering backgrounds, to help you understand the many applications of engineering in the real world. 

2. Medicine and Life Sciences
Medicine and Life Sciences will introduce you to new research techniques and subject content. You will learn key clinical skills in practical workshops led by health professionals at one of Imperial’s affiliated hospitals. 

3. Physics
This subject focuses on the physics and mathematics of a central concept in the physical sciences where you will learn to look at a problem or physical situation using three different tools: the mathematics of calculus; performing experiments; and simulating the situation using a computer. 
You will then combine your newly honed programming skills with theoretical knowledge to complete a team-based project.
