What to Expect in an Engineering Programme
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 In-person Programmes May Include
