What do our alumni have to say?

Our previous participants have some truly
inspiring stories to tell.

“I've really enjoyed meeting new people and visiting museums and galleries. At first, I was worried I wouldn't make friends or understand everything, but I've made some great friends and I'm learning so much. Studying fine art here has really helped me express myself through my artwork. It's helped build my confidence and improve my skills. This programme has really opened my eyes to new possibilities for my future career. I'm so thankful for this opportunity to study what I'm passionate about. It's been an amazing experience so far.”

Cornelia

Fine Art student in London

“I'm learning about a lot of conceptual things when it comes to branding and marketing that I didn't really consider before. You know, I thought business would be a lot more about data analysis, and it's way more interesting than I could have imagined before stepping foot in this course. And that alongside all this talking to people, all this networking, it's almost like, it's a step into the business world.”

Jose

Business Management student in London

“I have been in love with medicine since I was little. So, when I actually saw the opportunity from Immerse, I had to grab it because it's a new opportunity for me, for my future. And knowing new people, knowing a little bit more about what I want to be in the future. It's amazing. In class, we are learning about respiratory emergencies, so we are learning what we are actually going to do and that's completely different from normal schools and all that stuff. My favourite thing so far, I think has been having the opportunity to know more people and also study what I love.”

Bianca

Medicine student in London

“I've developed and expanded my knowledge of business so much with Immerse. Business is something that has been throughout our history and will be in our future and will actually create our future as well. I found Immerse because I saw a course that was provided for young people to learn how to do business, and I thought it would be a great opportunity. I've always believed in young people starting their own businesses, as I have myself.  If I had a friend ask about joining the programme, I'd tell them about all the people I've met and everything I learned, but mainly that it's a great opportunity.”

Business Management student in London

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.
