Royal Institution Masterclasses

Royal Institution Masterclasses

Introduction

This series aims to open the eyes of young people to the excitement, beauty and value of mathematics, and in turn, inspire the next generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers. The Series is delivered by staff and students from the Mathematics and Statistics Departments. Each masterclass focuses on an aspect of mathematics.

How do students from my school get involved?

Local schools (within easy transport to Coventry) are invited to nominate up to 3 year 9 pupils to attend the Saturday morning Masterclasses at the University of Warwick in the Spring term. These classes commence on 25th January 2025 and finish during British Science Week with a celebration event on 15th March 2025.

Within STEM subjects, there are under-represented groups. We would like teachers to bear this in mind when selecting their students to nominate
