Former Student
mA*ths Online Programme L6
Mathematics, Science and Engineering (STEM) courses at the top Russell Group universities
often ask for an A* in A-Level Mathematics. The mA*ths online programme offers tailored
support to L6 students to assist them in achieving this grade in their A-Level Mathematics.
During the programme participants will attend two masterclass events at Imperial and will
take part in two 7-week MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) which feature both teaching
and assessments. Additionally, they will receive online mentoring alongside the MOOC to support them with their studies.
This is a free programme which requires a commitment of around 2-3 hours a week.
Participants are also expected to attend the two face-to-face masterclasses hosted at
Imperial, and the first opening masterclass we expect to be held on Saturday 11 January.
The deadline for applications is on 23 November 2019.
