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 International Relations, you’ll explore topics such as economics, culture, politics and history from a global perspective to support you in your personal research project.

Prior skills, experience, or learning in International Relations are not prerequisites for the Online Research Project; you don’t need to have studied the topic before. However, a passion for understanding global dynamics, curiosity about diplomatic strategies, and a willingness to engage in geopolitical discussions will be instrumental in your course performance.

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 global politics, diplomacy, and international cooperation, the project can provide a head-start to participants aspiring towards a career in government agencies, international organisations, diplomatic missions, think tanks, and more.

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.
