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.

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.
