What Do Our Alumni Say?
Efa W. Alumni Oxbridge Online Research Programme
Testimonial quote icon

My subject area was chemistry and chemical engineering. I was concerned about the course being virtual as I found it difficult to learn from my online lessons prior to the course and that meant there was no face to face learning.

However, once I had started the course, as the lectures for my subject were one on one, it meant that it was really personalised and that there was a lot of attention on my understanding.

FAQs

What is the Immerse Education Online Research Programme?

Immerse Education’s Online Research Programme (Oxbridge ‘OORP’) and Ivy League ‘ILORP’), is designed for participants who want to enhance their personal research and study skills in preparation for university, whilst also developing deeper knowledge in their chosen field.

Led by your personal tutor, you will undertake a research project assessed at university-level and receive regular 1:1 supervisions from an expert academic from Oxford, Cambridge or an Ivy League University.

This course is ideal for participants wanting to gain invaluable experience for writing a dissertation or thesis at university, whilst also familiarising themselves with the demands of an Oxbridge or Ivy League degree. Alternatively, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience a subject you have never studied before.

Over the course of an Immerse Online Research Project in Engineering you’ll explore topics across various types of engineering, from mechanical to chemical, to support you in your personal research project.

No prior skills, experience, or learning in engineering are required for the Online Research Project for high school participants. However, a passion for designing solutions, curiosity about technological innovation, and a willingness to engage in problem-solving are advantageous characteristics.

The Online Research Project prepares participants for undergraduate study through developing their research skills, including learning how to use online journals, reference authors correctly and critically evaluate conflicting sources.

Through focusing on the use of both science and creativity to solve complex problems, the project can provide a head-start to participants aspiring towards a career in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering – or one of the many other engineering specialisms.

The Online Research Project is flexible. We offer intensive, classic and extensive versions of the course, lasting 2 weeks or 10 weeks, depending on your schedule. Classic (2 Weeks): A great option if you’re looking to enhance your academic research and writing skills over the school holidays.

Extensive (10 weeks): This is ideal if you’re looking to develop your research project in gradual stages during your school term.
