Policy and Research
ICU conducts various research and engages in policy-making throughout the year. We lobby on behalf of our students on the issues that matter most to them. Here’s what we’re working on currently...

What is policy and research at ICU?
This can look like...
- Conducting research with students on the issues they care most about through focus groups and surveys
- Engaging with local council and MPs
- Lobbying at a national level as part of groups such as Russell Group Students’ Unions (RGSU)
- Analysing national and institutional survey data and taking reports to Imperial committees to make institutional change
