The Directorate of International Relations and Higher Studies’ (IR&HS) flagship event – the Winter Immersion Programme was organised in Dubai this year. The immersion programme was held in collaboration with Ureka Education Group, from January 06-12, 2025. The programme saw the participation of 22 enthusiastic students accompanied by a faculty member from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
During the event participants engaged in intellectually stimulating workshops at renowned research and entrepreneurial centres like – Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Dubai Technology and Entrepreneurship Campus (DTEC), and DEWA Innovation Centre, wherein they gained practical insights and technical know-hows in the field of research, innovation and entrepreneurial development. Students also got a first-hand chance to experience a new perspective on the culture and heritage of the country as they visited Masdar City, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and Global Village.
The immersion programme also allowed students to present their learnings from the trip in the form of presentations at RIT, wherein they also received participation certificates. The immersion programme fostered global perspectives, networking opportunities, and future-ready skills, empowering SRM AP students to excel in their careers.
