- bencollier49 6y agoI knew that; I went to Kings! Apparently I haven't woken up properly this morning. Title changed.
- dancedar 6y agoAlum of both, it's comma-less icl on paperwork, website, rankings, and research, see ie https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/covid-19/ https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-ana... bottom their address.
- bencollier49 6y agoAh but I somehow managed to write "Imperial University". I have now had a coffee, and changed the title.
- howd00 6y agoOnly since 2007. Uni of London before that for 100 years. Used to play them at sports as part of the ULU league.
- asplake 6y agoYes it was part of the University of London, but always “Imperial College”. As far as I’m aware never “Imperial University” as the title initially had it here.
- gvjddbnvdrbv 6y agoIndividual colleges were effectively independent universities for many years before. The University of London umbrella was a shell.
- OJFord 6y agoNo, Imperial's royal charter (what's needed to be 'a university' and award degrees in your own right) dates to 1907. I believe that's true of most of UoL's constituents, just not the smaller ones perhaps like SOAS or other field-focused colleges.
