What do our alumni have to say?

Our previous participants have some truly
inspiring stories to tell.

“Our architecture teacher teaches us a lot from the history of architecture to designing in the present day, and about our future careers as architects. It has made me want to become an architect or at least study architecture. Today we've talked about portfolios and what is necessary for that next movement to college and to get accepted into University. It's helped me a lot to prepare for the next two years, and where I'm going to be heading to get to that point.”

Emma

Architecture student in Cambridge

“I've loved the debates in my law classes - they've really helped improve my English and public speaking. My favourite trip was to London despite the rain. I've learned so much about college applications from my teachers, mentors and international peers. This experience is so unique and I'll absolutely reference it in my university applications. Getting to study at Cambridge has opened my mind to new possibilities and I'm so thankful for this opportunity.”

Dominika

Law student in Cambridge

“My favourite part of the experience is making friends and doing the activities because I feel like it's really fun and the mentors really work hard to make it possible. Before coming to Immerse, I was worried about making friends. I was quite introverted, so I'm scared to go up to people and talk to them. But now I feel like I've made many friends and I'm really happy about that.”

Kayanne

Architecture student in Cambridge

“I found out about the programme because my parents and I were looking for a summer programme to do this summer, and then we found Immerse. The programme says it's in Cambridge, which I think is a really precious experience. My experience is just really amazing because not a lot of people get the opportunity to actually come to Cambridge with such a good university and just live in a college and meet like-minded people and have professors teach you some university knowledge that you won't get taught at school.”

Dora

Law student in Cambridge

“Reel” Immerse success stories

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.
