Pure Potential

PP: Maths Masterclass

Come and experience Maths at Cambridge...

For the past three years Pure Potential has teaming up with the University of Cambridge to run an event for mathematically talented state-school students who are considering applying to a maths-related subject at Cambridge. Our 2013 event took place in February and was attended by 100 Pure Potential students. Students had the opportunity to experience top undergraduate teaching during mock-lectures, speak with current Cambridge students and hear about how to apply to one of the leading maths faculties in the world.

The event is run by the University and they usually charge £10 per student to attend, but each year they kindly allocate 100 places - free of charge - to Pure Potential's most able and ambitious students.

Eligibility

In order to apply to this event, you must meet the following criteria:

• In Year 12 studying at a state school or college
• Achieved an A* grade in your Maths GCSE
• Studying Maths at A-Level and be on target to achieve an A
• Be interested in maths, or a maths-related degree such as computer science, economics, engineering, physics, etc.

Full details of our 2014 event will be published on our website later this year. You can register your interest with Pure Potential by clicking here.

This event has been very popular in the past and we have received extremely positive feedback and results: of the 180 students who attended this event in 2011, 48 students (26%) went on to apply to the University of Cambridge and 21 students were offered a place (44%).
