Outreach
Schools
If you are local to the university, we may be able to visit your school to give talks on mathematics and what it is like to study mathematics at university. If there is a topic on which your school would like a talk, do get in touch with us.
We also have a range of widening participation programme, including Realising OpportunitiesLink opens in a new window and the Sutton Trust Summer SchoolLink opens in a new window.
There are also regular on-campus maths activities through the AMSP programme.
AMSP
The Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) provides support for teachers and students in state-funded schools and colleges in England. Additional support is offered in areas of low social mobility so that, whatever their gender, background or location, students can choose their best post-16 maths pathway and have access to high quality teaching.
Our AMSP Area Coordinator, Fiona Kitchen, can give advice on the support available for prospective students. Click here for more details on the AMSPLink opens in a new window
