PortPath researches criteria from public sources and can be incomplete or out of date. Always verify against the program’s official announcement before relying on it. PortPath never predicts admission chances.
Overview
Imperial College London's bachelor-level Electrical and Electronic Engineering admissions use the UK UCAS system and appear strongly academics-led: applicants must first meet demanding subject-grade requirements, then are assessed using the required ESAT admissions test alongside the UCAS personal statement. Official sources for this course and Imperial's selection process do not indicate any portfolio or creative work-sample requirement.

Admission criteria

PortfolioLow

This program's official undergraduate application materials and selection-process pages do not list a portfolio or work-sample submission for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Admission emphasis is on grades, the UCAS personal statement, and the ESAT instead.

Bar to clear: Not used by this program

Statement of PurposeMedium

Imperial says the personal statement is a really important part of the UCAS application and uses it to judge subject motivation, fit for the course, and how studies and experiences have prepared the applicant. For 2027 entry, UCAS personal statements are structured around why you want the course, how your studies prepared you, and what relevant experiences outside education helped prepare you.

Bar to clear: Focused UCAS statement answering the 3 required prompts with clear EEE motivation and preparation

Academics & GPAHigh

Academics are a decisive filter. Imperial's selection process says applications are first checked against minimum entry requirements, and the course page sets very high subject-specific standards, including Mathematics and Physics. For A-levels the course requires A*A*A or A*AAA overall, with A* in Mathematics and strong Physics performance; Further Mathematics is strongly encouraged.

Bar to clear: A*A*A or A*AAA including A* in Mathematics and A/A* in Physics

Test scoresHigh

This course requires the Engineering and Science Admissions Test (ESAT), and Imperial says admissions-test scores are considered alongside the UCAS application, including the personal statement, when deciding whether to invite applicants to interview or make offers. English-language test scores also matter where applicable because applicants must meet Imperial's English-language requirement.

Bar to clear: Required ESAT completed; if needed, IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element or IELTS 7.0 overall with 6.5 in each element

How to stand out
Prioritise top grades in Mathematics and Physics; if available, take Further Mathematics because Imperial strongly encourages it.
Use the personal statement to show specific motivation for electrical and electronic engineering, not generic interest in engineering.
Connect school study and any technical projects or competitions directly to EEE skills such as maths, circuits, programming, electronics, or problem-solving.
Prepare early for the ESAT because Imperial uses the score alongside the rest of the UCAS application.
If English proof is required, clear Imperial's published threshold comfortably and submit a valid single-sitting result.
