The Immerse Education Essay Competition provides the opportunity for students aged 13-18 to submit essay responses to a question of their choice relating to a subject of interest.
Participate in the Immerse Education Essay Competition for a chance to win a full or partial scholarship to the university and career preparation programmes.
Benefits
- Academic Recognition: Enhance your academic profile for university applications. Partial winners receive completion certificates – and those who write outstanding essays also receive comments from the remarkable guest judges.
- Interview Preparation: University interviewers want you to discuss the subject you’re applying for with genuine enthusiasm. They look for depth of understanding and the ability to articulate your thoughts clearly. Writing an essay deepens your knowledge and improves your ability to present complex ideas.
- Skill Development: The essays are assessed against a mark scheme designed by academic experts. Completing an essay allows you to experience academic writing, promoting related skills like research, critical thinking and editing. Immerse provides support every step of the way.
