Imperial Global Summer School combines a subject-focused first week with an interdisciplinary Innovation Challenge and residential campus experience. The official residential page says 2026 applications are closed and applications will open in January 2027. It gives no exact opening day or verified new attendance dates in the evidence checked November 4, 2026.
Verified 2026 history: The official brochure lists alternative sessions June 29–July 10 or August 3–14, 2026. Its rules required ages 16–17 at the start, without turning 18 before/during the programme, strong STEM/English skills and residential attendance. Chemistry was July-only and Data Science/AI August-only; other subjects included Engineering, Medicine and Life Sciences, and Physics. These are historical options, not a confirmed 2027 timetable.
The published 2026 fee was £7,695 for tuition, accommodation, meals and included activities/transfers. The FAQ explicitly said no scholarships, bursaries, discounts or financial assistance for that programme. Historical offers required full payment within 14 days, or 7 days near the start; a first-come, first-served process did not supply a fixed application cutoff. New-cycle price, aid policy, exact opening, cutoff and eligibility reference dates remain unknown.
Direct retrieval and the rendered Imperial page returned 403, so official indexed residential, fees, FAQ and brochure evidence supplied these details. The FAQ still has an old statement that 2026 applications are open, while the residential page explicitly says they are closed and announces January 2027. Neither old wording establishes that the 2027 application is currently open.
