Veterinary Studies
I would describe the Immerse Academic Insights programme as intellectually stimulating, diverse, inspiring, motivating. I’ve definitely enjoyed meeting new people from all around the world, it has been amazing. I’ve loved studying something that I’m so passionate about, and being around like minded people and learning with them has been an incredible experience.
We’ve done dissections and other practicals such as suturing and gone through a lot of content that I wouldn’t have learned at school. I feel like the Immerse course is really preparing me for higher education by giving me insight into what being a university student might be like.
I looked at the essay competition and it seemed like an incredible opportunity, so I applied for the essay competition, got a partial scholarship, and here I am!
About the Immerse Veterinary Studies Summer School

Students will be introduced to new experiences and materials, further developed by practical sessions within the local community. By the end of the programme, students can expect to have gained new skills and in-depth knowledge which will inspire further study at a degree level and a future career.
