Featured Summer School Locations
Immerse’s award-winning programmes take place in a variety of locations, including the historic colleges of the University of Cambridge and the Royal Hospital School in Ipswich.
Cambridge has been regarded as one of the world’s most inspirational sites for learning ever since the University of Cambridge was founded in 1209. Some of the world’s greatest minds including Stephen Hawking, Erasmus, and Charles Darwin, have graced the beautiful halls of Cambridge college. The colleges remain a stimulating environment for young minds today.
Sidney Sussex College
University of Cambridge
The site of much religious conflict during the English Reformation, Sidney Sussex College of the University of Cambridge has produced 5 Nobel Prize winners.
Set in 200 acres of Suffolk countryside overlooking the Stour Estuary and within an hour of London, Royal Hospital School is a beautiful site with a rich naval and educational heritage.
Originally formed as ‘God’s House’, Christ’s College was home to leading academics such as Charles Darwin. The college is a sanctuary of peace in the heart of Cambridge.
Katya participated in our Law programme in 2016. Here’s what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
Studying with Immerse was a very intense experience, but well worth the effort. Because of my time with Immerse I knew which subject I wanted to study at university, and had a better idea of what to expect once I got there. My favourite part of studying with Immerse was getting the opportunity to learn a bit about my subject before committing myself to applying for that subject, which I would not have done otherwise.
Spending two weeks living and studying in a historic college in a legendary university, where hundreds of students have started their journeys was inspirational and gave me a chance to hear some of the stories about students at Cambridge that one might not hear about at an Open Day or as a tourist.
Since studying with Immerse I have finished school and moved on to study Law at Durham. Now I’m continuing with my studies, as well as starting to look ahead to what I want to do after finishing university - whether that be looking for a job or going on to further study.

Thivahshini participated in our Economics programme in 2016. Here's what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
Studying with Immerse was a delightful experience. I was given an insight into what Economics at university would be like and I also received help with my personal statement.

Bengisu Gur
Medicine Alumna 2016
Bengisu participated in our Medicine programme in 2016. Here’s what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
My favourite part of studying with Immerse was definitely people! So many people from many diverse backgrounds. It was the most amazing two weeks. Since my time with Immerse I have kept in contact with my friends and started pursuing my dreams in the medical field. I’m currently studying medicine in a well-known school in my city, Istanbul. A few years ago I was curious about studying medicine, but when I went back home from this summer programme, I knew for certain that medicine was what I would study.
Without doubt, Immerse was the most fun educational experience. It also helped me find my true passion for medicine and I now have many friends from all over the world.

Greetje Huisman
2016 International Relations Alumna
Greetje participated in our International Relations programme in 2016. Here’s what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
The most inspirational thing about studying with Immerse was being taken seriously by our tutors and having interesting discussions with them, being seen as a student instead of as a highschool kid. On the back of my experience, I have begun studying a bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences (with a focus on psychology and neuroscience) in Maastricht, and travelled to Australia to do a semester abroad in Sydney. Soon I will return to the Netherlands, write my final thesis and hopefully graduate from my bachelor with a view to starting a Master’s degree.
Overall, studying with Immerse was a really fun experience, in which I met a lot of new people, learned many interesting things and participated in a lot of cool activities. I would love to go back to Cambridge again, as it is a really beautiful and fun city. Furthermore, I am now probably more likely to start a conversation with new people, I have definitely become less shy.

Studying with Immerse was an amazing experience. It has given me more faith in my abilities and myself, and has therefore broadened my horizons. During the programme I began work on a novella which I have continued to work on and hope to finish within the next 12 months.
Having the opportunity to be mentored by professionals and being with students who are just as passionate was an amazing opportunity. I am still putting everything I learned - both in terms of the programme, and about myself - into practice which is something I treasure immensely.

Studying with Immerse was one of the most exhilarating educational experiences I've ever had and chatting to the mentors and the tutors who were so passionate about their subject of interest was so inspiring. I loved sketching inside Cambridge colleges and doing the design projects and it was su useful to get advice from current Cambridge student on personal statements and interviews. Thanks to them I’ve been reading more books about architecture and building up my portfolio ahead of starting my architecture degree.
Beyond the academic support, Immerse is a great opportunity to meet people from different nationalities, learn about different cultures and make new friends!

2016 English Literature Alumna
Emily participated in our English Literature programme in 2016. Here’s what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
Immerse taught me that if you’re passionate about something, you should pursue it. The tutorials were so informative and rewarding, and I met so many amazing people. It was genuinely a fun experience that has given me confidence when it comes to my undergraduate course and allowed me to complete my A-levels with a clearer sense of a suitable choice for university. I’m now in my second year of university at UCL studying English Literature and can’t recommend Immerse enough to people around me.

Studying with Immerse was a once in a lifetime experience. The programme ignited my passion in Physics and Mathematics and I feel as though I now have a good understanding of University life.

Henry Tran
2016 Engineering Alumnus
Henry participated in our Engineering programme in 2016. Here's what he has to say about his time with Immerse Education:
Since studying with Immerse I have really enjoyed my engineering life and am excited to see what the futures holds. I'm currently studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh and hope to find an engineering work placement and complete the second year of my studies next.
Immerse taught me that with an engineering degree one can pretty much enter any field of work they desire and even though I did not take Physics at A-level, Immerse helped me through my first year when my physics knowledge was lacking. It was a wonderful time I'd highly recommend it to anyone, you make friends for life whilst being mentally stimulated at the same time.

Vickrutha Ramesh
2017 Management Alumna
Vickrutha participated in our Management programme in 2017. Here's what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
I'm about to start my Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University Of Melbourne, where I will be majoring in Economics. Immerse introduced me to so many different concepts during the programme such as the benefits and drawbacks of various management techniques used by well renowned companies like Google and Starbucks. My group mentor Rosie and my subject mentor Dylan Amin were just brilliant. I wrote my entire personal statement with my mentor and I was selected for the Cambridge interview. I also got offers from UCL and Lancaster but decided to do my Undergraduate's at the University of Melbourne. Attending lectures at Immerse also made me confident as a person, as my lecturers helped me identify the skills I have within me, to a certain extent, within two weeks. I got all this while discovering the talents of individuals from all around the world.

Lauren Benseman
2017 Biology Alumna
Lauren participated in our Biology programme in 2017. Here's what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
Within the next 12 months I will finish high school and the next step is to travel to the UK for university, a decision that was almost entirely decided by my amazing experience at Immerse. The resources the students were offered were amazing and my tutor was passionate and very committed to helping each of his students advance not just their understanding of biology but also their desire to extend beyond the boundaries of their high school curriculum. Our mentors were generous, enthusiastic and had some of the best advice about applying to the UK. Being surrounded by young people like myself who were excited about their subject and committed to learning new things was really inspiring. It was a warm environment that encouraged me to develop both academically and socially. Attending Immerse taught me that the high-quality of learning and teaching at top universities is accessible to people of all backgrounds. The tutors and mentors helped me gain confidence and understand that despite the prestige and reputation of the university I was studying at, it is undeniably a very welcoming place and an institution which I should strive to one day attend. Thanks to Immerse, I have decided to apply to the UK for university, including Cambridge, for which I recently had my interview.

Nicola Ayoo
2017 Philosophy Alumna
Nicola participated in our Philosophy programme in 2017. Here’s what she has to say about her time with Immerse Education:
Studying with Immerse was an experience that I will never forget. It massively influenced my university application in terms of where I applied to do at the chosen subject. I really value the friendships that I made and the realisation that studying in such an environment isn’t as daunting as it seems, but actually very encouraging. My mentors were both such an inspiration to me and I have kept in contact with my closest friends from the course as well as my tutor. Next year I will start at university and also embark on my second charity trip to Africa. I would strongly encouraged others to sign up to Immerse - I now know what I want to study at university and have taken the necessary steps to do so, with the help of everything I learn from the programme.

My daughter came back from her Medicine course absolutely stoked! The setting, the mix of activities
and the people - students, tutors and mentors - she mixed with just made it a great experience for her.
Returning home involved something of a come down for her but she's stayed in touch with many new

The program was very professionally organized. Custom service was excellent; enquiries promptly
answered, and airport pick up and drop off all went according to plan. According to my daughter, the
accommodation was great, and she really enjoyed her time there. She’s made lots of new friends from
around the world, loved the activities offered, and the challenge the academic program brought. She
came back as a changed person; more mature, more motivated, and in general, has a more positive
attitude towards everything. I’m not sure how Immerse Education has done this, but I’m immensely
grateful to them. I have no reservation at all in recommending this program.

I was happy because I realised my daughter was satisfied and I am sure she benefited very much from
Immerse Education. She got in touch with a new world, a new way of studying. She felt her learning may
one day be useful to someone else, and that optimistic perspective gave her much
satisfaction...Moreover, students are stimulated to do better, stressing their abilities more than their faults.
Which permits them to study with much satisfaction and good results, according to each one's capability.
