If you are 16-18 years old, have a passion for mathematics, and are eager to find out where the subject could take you in the future – Maths Spiral is here to help! Maths Spirals are a series of virtual events designed to provide insight into the reality of studying mathematics at university. Sessions are centred around exciting mathematical puzzles and strategic problem-solving, and discussions with current students and graduates. Join fellow students in encountering high-level concepts that are introduced in Advanced Higher, A-Level and the early stages of university, in an engaging and accessible format. You do not need knowledge beyond GCSE or Nat 5 Maths, and there is no prior preparation required to take part. You will have the opportunity to chat with a recent graduate during the session and get your university-related questions answered by someone with first-hand experience. Current students deliver the sessions, so you will meet with people who have gone through the process and benefit from their valuable advice. This event is free, but booking is required via Eventbrite. We interviewed fifth-year student Elinor, the facilitator of the first Maths Spiral session, to give an idea of knowledge you could get from attending Maths Spiral. You can read the interview in the blog post linked below. Maths Spiral Blog This article was published on 2025-04-22
