A level Maths & Computer Science Students

Please find below details of a course offered by the AMSP - this is a paid for course, more information on the link:

https://amsp.org.uk/events/problem-solving-matters-developing-the-problem-solving-skills-required-for-university-admissions-tests/?utm_campaign=124281_ProblemSolvingMatters_24&utm_medium=email&utm_source=AMSP&dm_i=7KTF,2NW9,2DKU7,AJ17,1

This course is for year 12 students from state-funded schools, academies and colleges who are interested in applying to study Mathematics or Mathematical Sciences at University. We work with Oxford University, Imperial College, Durham University, University of Bath, University of Manchester and Warwick University to provide this course. This is a course for students who wish to improve their mathematical problem-solving skills in preparation for future studies. Please note that the course is not suitable for GCSE students.

Students applying for places to study Mathematics or Computer Science courses (including joint honours) at Oxford University will be required to sit the Mathematics Admission Test (MAT). For Imperial College, any Mathematics applicants will be required to sit the MAT or STEP, and Computer Science applicants will need to sit the TMUA. Warwick University strongly encourages any university tests and offers reduced rates if students are successful.

This course is designed to prepare students for the way they will have to think to achieve success in the MAT, TMUA and other problem-solving mathematics examinations by developing their mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.

The course consists of three face-to-face study days, three summer assignments and four online follow-up sessions.

This course takes place at 6 venues. The course is identical at all venues, and applicants are asked to select the most appropriate venue for them. Applicants may be offered a place at an alternative venue if their first choice of venue reaches capacity.

The 3 face to face study days take place on Saturdays, with the approximate timings of arrival from 9:30 am, to end at the latest 4 pm. The dates for each venue are as follows:

University of Oxford: 22nd June, 13th July and 28th September 2024 Imperial College, London: 15th June, 6th July and 21st September 2024
Durham University: 22nd June, 6th July and 21st September 2024 University of Warwick: 22nd June, 6th July and 14th September 2024
