Cambridge Immerse Pre College English Literature Online

Course Description

The English Literature Online Insights program from Immerse Education encourages you to think about what distinguishes great literary works from the others, as well as to question their worth and categorization. By taking a step back, you'll be able to use a new framework to analyze, interpret, and discuss some of the world's most recognized literary masterpieces, all while working with experienced academics from world-known universities. The Online Insights course puts the highlights of Oxford and Cambridge University programs on a user-friendly virtual platform. Small group courses are offered by qualified teachers in this programme. Participants will participate in virtual seminars, future skills workshops, one-on-one tutorials, and group social events guided by current Oxbridge undergraduates over the two-week program. Students participate in a variety of activities including subject-based instruction, one-on-one tutorials, future skills seminars, and social events with students from all around the world.
