Immerse Education’s Residential Engineering summer schools provide an in-depth look into both the academic and practical realms of engineering. The ‘Academic Insights’ Pathway focuses on essential engineering principles, innovative problem-solving, and cutting-edge research developments. Conversely, the ‘Career Insights’ pathway concentrates on practical engineering skills, such as design and prototype development, through hands-on workshops across various engineering disciplines. You’ll cultivate critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning and innovation — crucial attributes for aspiring engineers.
Both pathways empower participants with extensive engineering knowledge and the practical skills necessary to thrive in the industry.
With Immerse, participants can choose to study Engineering remotely as part of a group in an academic or career-focussed engineering online summer course. The ‘Online Insights’ programme will arm remote learners with the same foundational knowledge, case studies, labs and workshops as their traditional, residential counterparts.
Alternatively, participants can complete an Online Research Programme, during which they’ll delve into a personally chosen research area with the help of a qualified engineer, ultimately producing a university-level academic paper.
Our engineering tutors deliver outstanding motivational and academic support to students aspiring to enter the field of engineering. Leveraging their own successful journeys, they assist with a programme of test preparation, labs, and project work that draws on their professional experiences. They will inspire students by sharing their specialist knowledge and provide guidance, support, and feedback to help students reach their personal milestones. Tutors cater to ESL students, helping them grasp technical vocabulary essential for the international engineering community, academic publications, and global career opportunities.
