The Art Department at Imperial College gives students the opportunity to learn in, through and about Art and Design practice including art, craft and design. The Department caters for the 21st century learner while motivating them to explore ideas and art forms which can extend and challenge art-making. Students should now engage themselves with artwork made by others and make their own artworks, drawing on their developing knowledge, skills and understanding. The department also encourages students towards design thinking process, consisting of experimentation and production of an artwork that calls for logical, critical and aesthetic consideration. Students learn to reflect critically on their own experiences and respond to the works of artists. They hence, develop their own arts knowledge and learn to express and communicate experiences through and about Art and Design.

Reaction means chemistry
No reaction is also chemistry
The more effective way to enjoy, it is to do it
What is Chemistry?
Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the properties of matter and how matter interacts with energy. Chemistry is everywhere in the world around you! It’s in the food you eat, clothes you wear, water you drink, medicines, air, cleaners, and many others. Chemistry sometimes is called the “central science” because it connects other sciences to each other, such as biology, sics, and environmental science.
Chemistry helps you to understand the world around you.
Why do leaves change color in the fall?
Why are plants green?
How is cheese made?
What is in soap and how does it clean?
Or even what are the positive and negative effects of the ingredients found in your packet of snack?
Learning chemistry is fun! At the Imperial college we have a well-equipped laboratory where experiments are conducted to help our students engage in chemistry and develop a better understanding of the topics they learn in theory. In addition to that, students are continuously encouraged to work on chemistry projects which they present in our science fair exhibitions or even open days which are open to parents as well.

It covers a wide range of phenomena from elementary particles to the galaxies in space.
The sics department at Imperial College has a fully equipped laboratory which allows students to experimentally test the theories they have learnt such as matter, energy, motion and force. They are able to organise and formulate experimental results leading to valid conclusions. The study of sics allows students to develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills. sics students can complete their further studies in a wide range of fields such as engineering and medicine leading to interesting job prospects.
