1 Foundation Course in Chemical Engineering Summer School These instructions are for applications to the Foundation Course in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. Our Online application system EMBARK, is used for other Imperial courses and summer schools so some of the questions may not be relevant to the Foundation Course in Chemical Engineering. We therefore recommend reading through these instructions carefully before starting your application and keeping them to hand throughout the process to make sure that you provide all of the information that we need. Please note that we are unable to accept applications by or post, so please read through these instructions to apply online. Before you Begin Make sure that you have the following supporting documents ready for upload (we can accept Word, PDF and JPEG files): A signed copy of our Terms and Conditions.

Then click Go. Then, if this is your first time applying for Summer School or postgraduate study at Imperial, click Create an Account and follow the on-screen instructions. If you already have an Embark account, then please use your existing username to login. Please Note: If you have already applied for a postgraduate course at Imperial in the 2014/15 academic year, you will need to create a new Embark account using an alternative address. This is because the system will not allow you apply for multiple types of course in the same academic year.
