Imperial College Union

General information

We are the students' union of Imperial College London. We've made your time at Imperial so much better for over 100 years.

We campaign, lobby and work with the College to protect and promote your interests; we offer support and guidance when you need it; and we offer the right tools to empower our students, through our democracy, online resources and training sessions.

We have six constituent unions at Imperial. As Imperial formed from multiple independent institutions over the years, their respective students’ unions are still active. They mainly offer social activities and events for each of their colleges/demographics, with us (the College’s main students’ union) offering the advice, campaigns, and development opportunities.

We offer the following opportunities and services:

→ Clubs, Societies & Projects
Getting involved in student activities is a fantastic way to meet new people, learn a new skill, or to simply have fun. We have over 340 groups to choose from, so there’s something for everyone!

→ Reynolds
Open to everyone, Reynolds is most popular with our medics due to its proximity to the hospital and halls. It is located on our Charing Cross campus.

→ The Foundry
Since the College opened their new halls in North Acton, we’ve offered a much needed student space. Serving good food at student prices, the Foundry is, like all of our bars, open to everyone.
