Overview of studying in a global business hub

If you were considering studying in Boston, our New York programmes offer a similar opportunity to experience student life in a leading US city. Participants stay at Barnard College, part of Columbia University, located in the heart of Manhattan. This places you within one of the world’s most dynamic academic and professional environments, where ideas, industries, and culture intersect. Living in New York becomes part of the learning experience. From global finance and media to world-class museums and theatres, the city offers constant exposure to the industries and ideas explored during the programme. Accommodation includes comfortable student rooms with shared facilities, Wi-Fi, and 24/7 on-site security. Male and female students are housed separately. The residential setting is designed to build independence and connection, with shared spaces that encourage collaboration and friendships with peers from around the world.

Small-group learning

Teaching at our Boston summer school mirrors the seminar traditions of the city’s world-renowned institutions, fostering analytical precision, intellectual independence, and thoughtful academic exchange. Small-group learning introduces the expectations of undergraduate study – from guided reading and seminar discussion to independent analysis.

A taste of undergraduate study

Students engage with the theoretical foundations central to undergraduate programmes across quantitative and applied disciplines. From economic analysis and mathematical reasoning to medical science and computational logic, the emphasis is on research-informed thinking and structured academic methodology.

Academic role models

Our Boston summer school tutors bring university-level teaching experience to design a curriculum that extends beyond the syllabus through research-led seminars, quantitative analysis, and exposure to Boston’s rich academic and scientific environment. Alongside them, dedicated undergraduate mentors provide guidance, encouragement, and day-to-day support.

Portolio-worthy projects

Each student completes a substantial academic Personal Project. This could take the form of an economic report, a medical case analysis, a structured legal brief, a business strategy evaluation, or a working software prototype. The completed portfolio piece demonstrates analytical rigour, structured argumentation, and the intellectual maturity expected in early undergraduate study.

My experiences on this programme will support my journey to university, especially for med school, where it’s essential to connect with people, have a strong foundation of medical knowledge, and be able to think on your feet.

I’ve enjoyed meeting new people with Immerse, people who have different passions than I do and are studying different courses. I’ve learned so much in these two weeks and we’ve covered so many new topics that I hadn’t heard of. The relationship with my teacher has been fabulous, I can communicate with him very easily, and the teaching style is what I had expected, with university-style teaching methods. I think this program has really helped me to change my ideas about what I could expect from university.

Gonzalo

Computer Science (Academic Insights), Oxford

The lessons I’ve been participating in have definitely been different to what I’m used to in class back home. There have been more discussion-based activities with a different lecture style. My tutor is Panos. He’s an architect from Greece, who’s a lecturer at Cambridge. He’s been combining parts from the architecture course with his own prior experience in the industry. This programme has definitely solidified my chosen university and what course I should take.
