Industry Experience
Immerse Education’s Residential Architecture & Design summer schools provide an exceptional opportunity to explore the professional world of design and spatial innovation while still in high school. The ‘Career Insights’ Pathway emphasizes practical skills through interactive workshops, real-world design challenges, and studio work. You’ll enhance your problem-solving abilities by tackling complex design briefs, strengthen your creativity through hands-on projects, and cultivate resourcefulness by developing innovative solutions to design problems. This pathway equips students with the essential skills and industry knowledge to excel in the competitive fields of architecture and design.
Both pathways allow participants to gain a deep understanding of architectural concepts and the practical skills needed to excel in the profession.
With Immerse, participants can choose to study Architecture remotely as part of a group in an academic architecture online summer course. ‘Online Insights’ will arm remote learners with the same foundational knowledge, case studies, debate opportunities and research papers as the residential Academic Insights programme.
Alternatively, participants can complete an Online Research Programme, during which they’ll delve into a personally chosen research area with the help of a qualified architect, ultimately producing a university-level academic paper.
Our Architecture tutors provide exceptional motivational and educational support to students pursuing a career in architecture. Drawing on their own work, they help with design ideation and technical drawings with essential reference to their own successful projects. They will inspire students by delving into their own specialties, providing guidance, support, and a tailored lessons in theory to help students achieve their personal objectives and move towards developing their own personal style. Tutors cater to ESL students, helping them master architectural vocabulary essential for global practice, academic discourse, and international career opportunities.
