What Do Our Alumni Say?
Testimonial quote icon

I learned about immerse from researching because my mother wanted me to join a summer program. Last year I went to Oxford, so my mother wanted to go somewhere different this year. So we decided to come to Cambridge. I think my experience so far is going really well because I really like all the teachers mentors and I really love my friends.

I’m doing architecture and right now we’re learning about planning a building and making a model of what we designed.My favorite part of the experience is making friends and doing the activities because I feel like it’s really fun and the mentors really work hard to make it possible. Before coming to Immerse, I was worried about making friends. I was quite introverted, so I’m scared to go up to people and talk to them. But now I feel like I’ve made many friends and I’m really happy about that.

You will tackle the most complicated form of drawing; axonometric and isometric. By the end of the first week you will have produced a full set of meticulously crafted drawings, which will be of use for both your architectural development and confidence.

Explore the practicalities of presenting a design idea. Architecture is chiefly a profession that requires the architect to convince prospective clients of the validity of their design. You will construct A1 competition boards of your design proposals which will be presented to peers and expert tutors.
