Some brilliant next steps for University Maths School students 👏 A recent feature in @thetimes highlighted a number of high-achieving Maths School students choosing degree apprenticeships and company-sponsored degrees alongside more traditional university routes. Students from Surrey Maths School, @LUSoM_ and @kingsmathschool are heading to @Dyson, @RollsRoyceGroup, @BAESystemsInc and @DeutscheBank – in some cases choosing these routes over offers from universities including Imperial, UCL, King’s, Warwick, Manchester and Durham. The reasons behind their choices are varied: the opportunity to combine academic study with substantial professional experience; greater job security after graduation; earning while studying; and graduating without tuition-fee debt. The article also looks beyond this year’s leavers, featuring King’s Maths School alumnus Eito, who went on to study Computer Science at The @UniofOxford and is now founder and CEO of AI security company Sealgate. Together, their stories offer a brilliant snapshot of the breadth of destinations open to Maths School students - and the different ways they are choosing to use their mathematics beyond sixth form. U-Maths CEO Dan Abramson also reflected on the wider picture: "University maths schools have high demand, exceptional results and impressive onward destinations. Current and planned provision will offer places to only around 1,000 new students each year, while young people in many parts of the country remain beyond easy travelling distance of a school. The evidence now supports the next phase of growth: opening more university maths schools and extending this specialist provision to many more young people" A great spotlight on Maths School students and alumni - and on where a strong mathematical education can take them.
