Mathematics Summer School
University Mathematics in Perspective
38th Course for Sixth Form Students
25th to 27th June 2024
This short course for sixth-form students will provide an introduction to mathematics at the University of Leeds. We will offer you a sneak preview of university life plus an insight into how mathematics develops at degree level. Our University tutors will extend and enrich your existing study of mathematics at A-level (or equivalent) through talks and interactive sessions.
We will give you an invaluable insight into the structure of mathematics degrees, the courses, admissions procedure and how to make the most of your application to university.
The cost to attend the in-person summer school is expected to be approximately £170 (we will confirm shortly) - bursaries will be available to cover the cost of attendance and travel for students satisfying two or more Access to Leeds criteria where finance is also a barrier. There may also be the option for students who cannot attend in person to join some of the activity remotely / access resources (free of charge). There will be opportunity to let us know which formats are possible for you in the application form.
