Maths Levelling Up Scheme for A Level Maths Students | University of Greenwich

# data[].attributes.body
At the University of Greenwich we maintain a clear commitment to ensuring education without boundaries and aim to remove hurdles preventing students from accessing their potential futures wherever we can, ensuring students can succeed because of and not despite their backgrounds.

We are aware that a wide range of students find Maths and the study of STEM subjects involving Maths challenging and that this can deter them from considering future pathways in STEM subjects within careers that they might be really keen to pursue but are in the mindset of thinking would be out of their reach.  Thus this offer caters to support A Level Mathematic students.

With this in mind, I wanted to reach out and let you know about the Levelling Up Scheme we will be running this summer. This will be delivered in association with the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and is a programme to support A-Level students with their Maths skills, to help them to be successful in achieving their A Level Maths qualification and to provide them with the knowledge, tools, and encouragement to consider applying for mathematics or other STEM degrees in their future studies.

The programme would be delivered as online tutoring sessions, delivered to your students by our trained student ambassadors, who all hold a Maths Level 3 or equivalent qualification and are currently studying a Maths or similar subject at undergraduate level here at the university. This programme is completely free of charge to the students and school.

There will be 8 sessions, each lasting one hour which will be delivered this summer term, between 13/14 May and 8/9 July 2026.

Next Steps – Nominating Students

We are keen to offer this support to your Year 12/Year 1 students but have a limited number of spaces available for this pilot programme, and students would need to meet eligibility criteria to be granted a place on this programme. If you do have any students who you would like to nominate to take part in the Levelling Up programme with us, you can find the application/nomination form attached to this email. Please do complete the attached application/nomination form for each student and email this in password protected format, back over to us to outreach@gre.ac.uk 23:59 Monday 11th May, so that we can consider all nominations fairly and confirm those who have been shortlisted asap for the tutoring sessions to then be able to commence in May.

MI5 stops threats from inside the UK, MI6 protects our people overseas and GCHQ looks after our Cyber security. It’s incredibly important work, although most people will never know what they do.

How did medicine move from myths and remedies to modern science? Join the University of Aberdeen to explore how pharmacology evolved using real disease case studies, including infectious disease, pain, and mental illness. Uncover surprising early treatments like leeches and urine, and learn about accidental discoveries like willow bark (aspirin) and opium poppy (morphine). Join us to see how science transformed medicine into the evidence-based discipline we rely on today.
