I’ve enjoyed meeting new people with Immerse, people who have different passions than I do and are studying different courses. I’ve learned so much in these two weeks and we’ve covered so many new topics that I hadn’t heard of. The relationship with my teacher has been fabulous, I can communicate with him very easily, and the teaching style is what I had expected, with university-style teaching methods. I think this program has really helped me to change my ideas about what I could expect from university.

Computer Science (Academic Insights), Oxford

The lessons I’ve been participating in have definitely been different to what I’m used to in class back home. There have been more discussion-based activities with a different lecture style. My tutor is Panos. He’s an architect from Greece, who’s a lecturer at Cambridge. He’s been combining parts from the architecture course with his own prior experience in the industry. This programme has definitely solidified my chosen university and what course I should take.
