Courses at Imperial that are on par with Oxbridge’s(?)

To all future applicants, active students, alumni,

Imperial College is getting it’s global fame and reputation as an institution focuses solely on STEM subjects, however public opinions may vary as to for what subjects/courses they’re stronger at or in equal level to the two giants: Oxford and Cambridge. Is Imperial only doing well at engineering subjects? What about mathematics, or other sciences, like biological sciences, chemistry or biochemistry?

According to your personal experience and/or opinion, what are some courses of which Imperial is shoulder-to-shoulder or even better than Oxbridge?.

I am not taking location,tutorial, lecture quality, job prospects, funding, student/staff ratio into account and looking only at the specification/syllabus of few courses.
'Mathematics and Computer Science' at Oxford is superior to the equivalent course at Imperial (1 tier higher.)
Mathematics at Imperial falls short on standards compared to Cambridge.
Physics at Oxford is on a whole new level.

You can research yourself.
