You will need to provide the names of two suitable referees. One must be an academic reference, the second referee may be another academic referee, or where appropriate/relevant, a professional referee.

You will need to complete a personal statement as part of your application. These statements support your application by demonstrating that the course is right for you and that you have the skills, knowledge and aptitude to achieve the course requirements. It's good to aim for your statement to be one or two pages of A4 – that's roughly around 500 to 1,000 words long at font size 12. The description of the programme should detail the key course requirements, including skills, experiences and technical abilities. You might find this structure helpful to plan your personal statement: Section 1: Explain why you're interested in studying this course. Section 2: Show how your experience is useful or relevant to meeting the course requirements. You could split this into three: your academic background, your work experience and skills and your other non-academic activities or interests. Section 3: Show how the course will help you shape your academic or professional career. Section 4: Explain why you're choosing Imperial. Are there particular facilities or research groups you're interested in? Section 5: Tie it all together with a concluding paragraph.
