Description

Our free taster day allows sixth form and college students to experience Mathematics at undergraduate level. Taster days are free and fully funded. You will be provided with everything that you need for the day. The University of Surrey is also able to cover transport costs to ensure you are able to visit our campus in Guildford.

What to expect on the day!

By studying mathematics, you’ll develop transferable skills such as creative problem-solving and logical reasoning, which are in great demand in a wide range of career sectors.

Our on-campus taster day invites you to explore mathematics in more detail and discover what it might be like to study at university in addition to the potential careers that it could lead to.

You will have the opportunity to hear from some of our prominent University of Surrey academics who will introduce their subject and research through an interactive timetable. Our inspirational student ambassadors will also be available to talk about their experience and what it’s like to study at university.
