On the 12th July the School of Mathematics and Physics hosted more than 80 students from The Beauchamp College in Oadby near Leicester.

The schedule (see below) included lectures by Dr Simon Smith and Dr Paula Lins de Araujo, who talked about areas of mathematics related to their own research. The students were also given a campus tour, took part in an activity delivered by one of our undergraduate students Owen, and were given the opportunity to ask another of our undergraduate students, Leah, about her student experience.

Our visitors enjoyed their experience and we hope that some of them have been persuaded that a degree in mathematics is a great idea!

Many thanks to our students (Owen, Leah, Adam and Chris) for their help!
