Online Research Programme

Online Research Programme

The Accredited Online Research Programme is a personalised academic experience for students aged 13 to 18, delivered entirely online. Designed for schools aiming to support ambitious learners, the programme develops core academic skills through structured research, academic writing and critical thinking.

Students select a subject they are passionate about and work closely with a tutor from institutions such as the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge or Ivy League universities. Through one-to-one or small group tutorials, students are guided in completing an extended academic project, mirroring the expectations of university study.

Schools can choose from three programme formats to suit their students' goals: Classic (non-accredited), UK Accredited (with 8 UCAS points), or US Accredited (with 3 college credits). A fourth format, Group Accredited, allows students to collaborate with peers while still earning academic credit.

The programme equips students with valuable experience for their UCAS personal statement, college applications or IB Extended Essay work, making it a trusted option for schools seeking to provide stretch and challenge beyond the curriculum.

Programme highlights

World-Class Tutors

Immerse Education’s tutors are committed to supporting students’ academic growth and ambitions. Every subject is taught by experienced educators from leading institutions, including the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and Ivy League universities. Our curriculum is thoughtfully developed to reflect university-level teaching while remaining accessible and engaging for students aged 13 to 18. Each session is designed not only to deepen subject understanding but to spark curiosity and build confidence ahead of higher education. All tutors are trained and certified in the Immerse Education Experiential Learning Framework, ensuring consistently high-quality teaching across every programme. This approach supports schools by reinforcing subject mastery, academic motivation, and independent learning.

Dedicated mentors

Each student on our residential programmes joins a mentor group of up to ten participants, forming a close-knit support network for the duration of their stay. This group becomes their academic and social “family,” creating a sense of belonging from day one. Mentors are typically undergraduate students from the host university city, chosen for their academic strength, approachability and enthusiasm for working with younger learners. They accompany students throughout their daily schedule and act as a consistent point of contact for questions, encouragement and wellbeing. In addition to providing pastoral care, mentors offer informal academic support and help students reflect on their learning. This ensures every student feels confident navigating the programme and inspired about their academic future.

Evaluation, certificate & letter of recommendation

Our tutors are committed to the academic development of every student. At the end of the programme, each participant receives individual written feedback that highlights their strengths, progress and areas for further exploration. Tutors also provide personalised reading suggestions to help students continue developing their subject knowledge. All students receive a certificate of completion. Those who demonstrate exceptional engagement and academic potential may also be awarded a letter of recommendation, which can be used to support future university or scholarship applications.
