Imperial College London was born from the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's husband) through his want for a sector of culture within London. Unlike many of Imperial's fellow Russell Group institutions, Imperial focuses on a much narrower range of subjects - namely, science, technology, medicine and business. As a specialist university, it will be of little surprise that Imperial has produced many noteworthy alumni, including 3 Fields Medallists, 2 Breakthrough Prize Winners, and 1 Turing Award Winner as well as hundreds of Royal Academy fellows.
