Attend a SUMS enrichment day
We’ve launched a free SUMS enrichment day, which extends the content covered in the SUMS magazine! Our SUMS enrichment day is designed to develop students’ problem-solving and teamwork skills and to encourage more female students to study maths.
We’re running days at five different universities to enable students from across the country to attend and to experience a university environment. During the day, students will get the chance to work on an extended problem in small groups, quiz current students about university life, and hear from young women who use maths in their jobs.
