Imperial College London: Reviews and photos

We'll be putting some reviews of the books we've been reading relating to going to university, applications and other subjects relevant to student life.

Check back soon for the first review. In the meantime why not visit our forum and discuss any books you've been reading that you think might help other students or applicants.

Publishers

We're always looking out for new books to review, send yours to our PO box or via email and we'll review it for you.

Although you may not want to think about it once you’ve decided on where you’re going and what you’re doing for your gap year, at some point you will have to consider the legal side of your trip and investigate the visas you need.

It’s a good idea to sort out the paperwork for this as soon as possible, as this can take weeks and you may have to visit the country’s embassy in the UK. So save yourself the stress and read our guide to obtaining the correct visas and permits before you go.
