Career Insights – Marketing & Entertainment is an Immerse Education programme focused on the practical side of branding, media and entertainment careers.
Students combine project work, career-skills sessions, expert workshops and individual coaching with industry-focused visits in New York.
It suits students who want to test an interest in creative industries before making longer-term study or career choices.
Career Insights – Marketing & Entertainment is Immerse Education’s New York programme for students exploring marketing, branding and entertainment management. It combines academic-style learning with projects, workshops and exposure to professional settings.
Students work through practical tasks, receive career-focused support and build a personal project. The programme is designed as an introduction to professions rather than an internship or professional qualification.
It connects classroom work with marketing and entertainment settings, including NBC Studios and Broadway.
A small published class size can make the programme feel more discussion-led and personal.
Weekly one-to-one coaching gives students space to reflect on career interests.
The personal project and presentation create a concrete outcome beyond attendance.
Residential students experience Manhattan-based campus life alongside the academic programme.
Students aged 15-18 who are curious about how branding, media and entertainment businesses work and want a structured New York summer experience.
You want a specialist technical course in film production or a work-placement internship; this is a broad career-exploration programme.
This can be worthwhile for a student who needs real exposure to marketing and entertainment before committing to a university subject or career direction. The mix of projects, coaching and visits makes it more applied than a purely classroom-based summer school.
The main limitation is the price and short duration: it is an exploratory experience, not a formal industry placement or accredited qualification. Its value is strongest when students actively use the project, feedback and reflection afterwards.

Moderate to high.
Best started
