Personal Project
With the support of expert academic tutors, all participants on the Academic Insights programme complete a project during their time. Whether an essay, presentation or practical project, participants receive ongoing support before presenting their ideas to their peers at the end of the programme.
Participant Evaluation
Our tutors are passionate about the academic development of their students, and therefore provide individualised written feedback and reflections after the programme. This provides insight into a participant’s strengths, areas for further exploration, and recommended reading to stimulate their academic curiosity
Expert Tutors
Our tutors care about the academic futures of each participant. Each syllabus is designed and taught by expert academics from top universities, such as Cambridge and Oxford. Content is designed to introduce students to university-level subject matter, and inspire them to continue their studies after completion.
1:1 Tutorials
Participants receive weekly 1:1 tutorials with their tutor, designed to ensure that each individual is progressing as desired, and that students can receive additional academic support in a private setting.
Dedicated Mentors
Each participant is part of a mentor group (approximately 10 students), which forms their “family” for the course. Mentors are typically undergraduate students from top universities, and are there to ensure that participants are able to get the most out of the programme, and provide participants with additional support in their chosen subject so that they leave Immerse feeling confident about their academic future.
Activities & Excursions
A key highlight of the Academic Insights summer course is its social programme, which allows participants to make friends with like-minded peers from around the world. The social programme includes two excursions, onsite games, sports and more – as well as traditional, formal meals at different university colleges.
Guest Speakers
During their programmes, students will hear from fascinating and well-respected guest speakers. Ranging from politicians to philosophers, these sessions offer participants the chance to learn from inspirational and influential change-makers.
Practical Learning
One of the most popular aspects of the course is the opportunity to receive hands-on, practical experience in their subject area. Examples include dissections in medicine, robotic arm building in engineering, or carrying out mock trials in law.
Post-Programme Learning
Students continue engaging with exclusive, university-level content from expert academics. For 12 months after their programme they will build on their understanding of their chosen subject; this will support them in developing skills to stand out at school, in university admissions and in higher education studies.
Alumni Lifetime Support Our support for alumni continues with exclusive networking events. For a year after their programme alumni receive peer to peer support from each other, plus coaching and exclusive career opportunities from more mature alumni working in their chosen fields
