Mathematics undergraduate student induction
This page is for the incoming 2025/26 cohort.
Congratulations on obtaining a place at the Mathematics Department here at the University of Warwick! We look forward to welcoming you in September. In the meantime, the pages here will help you understand what you should do before you arrive, and what you will need to do during your first weeks here.
During Welcome Week, the first induction session will be at 10am on Monday 29th September, at lecture theatre MS.02, Zeeman Building (see your emails from the University). Please try to arrive early so we can start promptly.
All of your lectures/classes will be in person/face-to-face, supplemented with various electronic resources. You will be submitting your assessed work online, we will explain how to do this during Welcome Week.
You do not need to register for any modules yet; you can prepare by looking at the available options in the Handbook, but you can wait until you arrive before registering. The first induction session will explain how to choose your modules.
Before Arriving
Before you arrive you may want to do some reading to get you up and running.
From early September, you will be access an online module "MA1K2 Refresher Mathematics"Link opens in a new window (you will need to have registered with the University and set up your online account first. The link won't work until the course starts running! The main aim of this module is to help you get back into the swing of academic study by reviewing A-level maths. However, while the material will be familiar to you, the course will offer you a new way of thinking about it, that will prepare you better for university study. You will also get a taste of university-style lectures, although these will be online for this module. There is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for this module here which should cover most questions you may have before it opens.
This module is "core" for you and will appear on your registrations, but any assessment will not count as credit towards your degree and is for feedback only, so please don't get stressed by it. Do attempt it though, in our exam boards at the end of the first year the students who have struggled with the course invariably did not attempt this Refresher Module before arriving.
