The ability of Immerse Education to effectively build a community with a diverse group of educators with global perspectives, creating a safe space to collaborate and learn was priceless. It was a privilege to be included.

For an educator to spend a week in Cambridge living the college life is already an invaluable experience per se. But to build a community with colleagues from different parts of the world and share similar problems and achievements is uplifting and reassuring.

My time in Sydney with Immerse has honestly been one of the best things I have ever done. I learnt so much from all the inspirational tutors who have motivated me to challenge myself academically. This experience has allowed me to develop so many amazing new friendships from all over the world. Each and every moment at immerse was engaging, fun and insightful.

The Immerse Education programme is a useful experience for both learning and personal career. I learned a lot, met new people, understood new concepts and most importantly I enjoyed it one hundred percent. You get an overview of many topics and realise the world behind what you don’t know about. In my opinion, this was the best choice I could ever make at this age.

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
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
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.

Economics summer school FAQs

What topics will I study that are related to the Economics course?

13-15 year olds will explore macroeconomics through Adam Smith’s theories, dive into microeconomics with concepts like elasticity and trade, and examine market forces. The course culminates in a project presentation and a workshop on university applications and career paths in economics, business, and management.

16-18 year olds will tackle advanced topics, including econometrics and statistical methods, development economics and poverty reduction, and auction theory using game theory principles. The programme concludes with a project presentation and a session on university applications and career opportunities.

What skills, experience, or prior learning do I need for the Economics course?

You don’t need prior skills, experience, or learning to take the Economics course. But having an active interest in the subject is valuable. Your expert tutor will provide work for you to complete before your economics summer course starts.

What kind of participants are best suited for the Economics course?

Motivated participants aged 13-18 are best suited for the Economics courses. Those looking to take economics, business, and management at the university will have a tremendous advantage over competitors.

What is the Economics course and why is it worth studying?

Human beings have unlimited wants, but we live in a world of limited goods. So how do you go about distributing resources? There are two major categories of economics: macro and micro. Macroeconomics looks at the economy as a whole  from a collective perspective, while microeconomics examines persons’ behaviour as consumers and producers from an individual’s perspective. Studying economics is important because it helps you understand how the market behaves. Every business needs to understand what factors affect prices, demand, and supply. Otherwise, they won’t know how to reach their  target consumers - resulting in low profit. Studying economics also gives you an insight into your own spending habits. You’ll be surprised how a simple grocery trip can be full of economic principles at work. Awareness will help you make wise investments. And avoid pitfalls that get you into a cycle of debt.

What courses does Immerse offer for Economics?

In 2027, Immerse Education offers Economics through Academic Insights in Cambridge and Oxford (ages 13-15 and 16-18), London (ages 15-18) and Singapore (ages  16-18), and online through Online Research.

What career prospects are available for Economics graduates?

Economic graduates often work in business, HR, and finance functions as economists, data analysts, accountants, auditors, and statisticians. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 5% employment growth from 2023 to 2033, resulting  in 1,000 job openings per year.

How does Immerse Education support ESL learners on its courses?

Immerse Education integrates Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to support ESL students. This method combines subject-specific instruction with language development, helping students strengthen their English while engaging deeply with creative content. Tutors provide clear explanations, creative prompts, and personalised support to build fluency and confidence, especially in discussing ideas, giving presentations, and using relevant terminology across the creative disciplines.
