The history of science and technology has been taught and researched at Imperial College’s Centre for the History of Science,Technology and Medicine (CHoSTM) since the early 1960s. We are a vibrant intellectual community of approximately 20 faculty, post doctoral fellows, and PhD students, regularly hosting visiting researchers and visiting doctoral students. We have around 30 master’s students and teach 400 undergraduate students from all departments at Imperial College.
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the Centre was awarded the highest rating of all 83 UK history departments: 40 per cent of its research was classed as world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour, with another 40 per cent judged internationally excellent.
