Academic Advisory Panel at Immerse Education

The Academic Advisory Panel guides the design and delivery of our Academic Insights programmes, ensuring every course reflects the standards, rigour, and transformative learning ethos of the world’s leading universities. The panel consists of academics from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

Expert guidance for Academic Insights

The Academic Advisory Panel is composed of Oxford and Cambridge scholars, lecturers, researchers, and subject specialists who ensure our programmes are as academically demanding as they are inspiring.

Immerse Education’s interactive learning approach in leading universities across the world with a wide range of subjects that students can choose from gives it a huge competitive advantage.
