Tuition Fees

This is important: do not put one fake “Imperial fee” into the database. Imperial states that overseas tuition fees are set by course and publishes them on individual course pages.

Scholarship Information Imperial offers scholarships and funding opportunities for eligible students. Check the relevant course and scholarship pages for current availability and eligibility.

For example, Imperial’s MSc Management lists a £47,000 2026 fee and a £6,500 deposit, demonstrating why course-level fee data is preferable to putting one university-wide figure into this field.

For Indian applicants, Imperial also publishes country-specific information. Its current English requirement page lists 70% in Indian Class 12 for CBSE and CISCE boards as meeting its English requirement, but this is an English-language requirement—not a universal academic admission percentage for every Imperial course.
