Tailored Programme Experience

In July 2025, Immerse Education will welcome a group of Podar students to a week-long residential programme hosted at the University of Oxford. The experience is designed to blend academic insight, cultural immersion, and personal growth.

Students will engage in academic seminars led by subject experts from the University of Oxford, exploring key topics in business, leadership, and STEM. These seminars are modelled on undergraduate-style learning, allowing students to research, present ideas, and collaborate with their peers.

Complementing their academic study, participants will take part in a university admissions workshop led by current Oxford undergraduates, equipping them with insight into the UK university application process and empowering them to chart their educational path with confidence.

Beyond the classroom, the programme includes exclusive experiences such as guided tours of Oxford colleges, a visit to the Ashmolean Museum, and chauffeured punting along the River Cherwell. Students will also attend guest lectures and enjoy traditional Oxford formal dinners. The week concludes with a graduation celebration and student-led presentations, fostering a sense of accomplishment and reflection.

Looking Ahead

This partnership represents a meaningful first step in a broader relationship between Immerse Education and Podar International School. By aligning the programme with Podar’s educational ethos, the experience sets a new benchmark for cross-border enrichment that is both academically rigorous and personally inspiring.

We look forward to deepening this collaboration and welcoming many more Podar students in future years.
