Who will benefit from attending?

Content

University Admissions

• This session will give delegates information relating to the university admissions process.

Mathematics at University

• In this session, delegates will see which type of degree courses benefit from students having studied level 3 maths, why maths is useful for these degree schemes and how you can prepare your students to make a successful transition to university.

Wider Mathematical Development

• In this session, delegates will explore some mathematical extracurricular and enrichment activities that are available to engage your students in maths activities beyond the classroom.

Mathematics for University Admissions Tests

• This session provides an opportunity for delegates to look at pre-university tests such as STEP, MAT and TMUA, and how schools can help their students to prepare for them.

Next Steps

• This session will give delegates a chance to reflect on the day and plan their next steps.

Eligibility

This course is for delegates from English state-funded schools, colleges and academies. Teachers from independent schools and non-English schools may apply, but places will only be granted if there is availability.
