What do our alumni have to say?

Our previous participants have some truly
inspiring stories to tell.

“I found the Online Research Programme classes very interactive. My tutor had economics experience from university, which meant that I was able to experience what studying economics at university would be like.”

Shreya

Economics Online Research Programme

“Out of this experience, I wanted to see if I was actually interested in Psychology and see what specific area I'm really interested in taking. My personal tutor was perfect throughout this entire program. He was very welcoming and understanding through all activities and allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of what Psychology truly entails. During the activities, he would always check up on me and never pressured me to get a task done.”

Charlize

Psychology Online Research Programme

“Passion may seem simple, but for me, it meant finding the answer to one of the most important questions in my life. It meant what career I would pursue, it meant what impact I would make on the world, it meant finding that fire that drives me, but most importantly it meant finding a part of me that I didn't know existed. With the rigorousness of this program and the various topics covered, I found the answer to all those wonders.”

Academic Insights: Parent’s Perspective Video

It’s been great having university students and graduates as mentors. It’s given my daughter insights directly from people studying or teaching at Cambridge, rather than just remote instructors. This has been invaluable for her, and we can tell she’s been inspired by them. When we speak with her, we hear how much more confident and at ease she’s become.

Jie

Parent of Academic Insights student in Cambridge

It’s been a great experience for my daughter. Besides the academics, it’s encouraged her to be more independent. She’s had to navigate a new environment, meet people from all over the world, and manage without us right there. She did really well and didn’t need to text us constantly, which showed she was adjusting.

Alexander

Parent of Academic Insights student in Cambridge

I would absolutely recommend Immerse Education to other parents, especially those with children Quan’s age. It’s such a valuable experience, and the international environment adds another layer of richness. I haven’t found many other programmes with this level of diversity and cultural exchange.

Thu

Parent of Academic Insights student in Cambridge

Communication from Immerse was excellent, both to me and to my daughter Evelyn. We received a welcome pack detailing what she would need to be ready, which eased the anxiety of travelling from Hungary to attend. I hadn’t been to Cambridge myself before, so it became part of the adventure for both Evelyn and me.

Michael

Parent of Academic Insights student in Cambridge

The programme has had a big impact on my daughter. A few days ago, she sent us a video, saying, “I’m going to be a doctor; I know my blood type and DNA!” Neither my husband nor I are in medicine, so seeing her dedication and how clearly she’s expressed her interest in becoming a doctor is very special. Immerse has opened the door for her, letting her see that this could indeed be a career path.
