Loughborough Maths Course
This course is university level maths and consists of a series of modules, which represent almost half of the first year maths course taken by all first year M Eng students at Loughborough. The course has been discussed with admission tutors from other universities and they strongly support their future students maintaining and increasing their maths proficiency by studying this course during their gap-year.
Students who complete the Maths course find their first year at university much easier, those that don't often wish they had!
The course involves approximately 35 hours work during the academic year, which is done by distance learning, and details are available at http://bestmaths.lboro.ac.uk/ There would be a small charge of £125 (2008-09)
If you have taken A level maths and plan to use this at university for engineering, technology, mathematics, science or economics courses we strongly recommend you to join this university level maths course.
