Apply! Cambridge Immerse Scholarship Programme 2019 in UK

Published

on

Cambridge Immerse is a residential academic programme with a diverse and enriching curriculum. Our 16-18 year old programmes are designed to provide a taster of what it’s like to study a subject at university level. Their 13-15 year old programmes are designed to ignite students’ interest and help them better understand what subjects they should be pursuing at a higher level.

All academic sessions are carefully designed and taught by expert tutors in an optimal learning environment that stimulates academic inquiry. And our carefully planned schedule ensures that the programme not only meets the academic needs of the participants, but also provides a unique experience of the university city through an abundance of extracurricular activities.

Students reside in one of central Cambridge’s largest and most beautiful university colleges. Within the college’s historic walls, we pride ourselves on providing unique experiences of leadership and academic excellence through an inspirational programme for participants. With its diverse and enriching curriculum, the programme allows students to explore and further their knowledge of a chosen subject in an unrivaled academic environment. Students emerge more confident and ready to articulate what they have learned, with knowledge of their chosen fields that provides fascinating academic insights – and, of course, many unforgettable memories along the way.

Two categories of scholarship are available; the first for students aged 13-15 and the second for students aged 16-18. Students seeking financial aid may apply for a scholarship at Cambridge Immerse, which could result in a maximum 100% reduction in programme fees.
