Current Students:
M3T
has a dedicated Blackboard page that registered students can access via Blackboard Learn
M3T is an
optional
course
normally for third year BSc or MSci students (including JMC students), although
it is also available to fourth year students returning from a year in Europe
and to other fourth year students if there are sufficient spaces. It offers the
opportunity of gaining first hand experience of the education of young
mathematicians in a school environment and of gaining a number of transferable
skills that are in demand by employers in many occupations. Admittance to the course is via a
selection interview, if you are selected then there is a compulsory training
day during the summer term. All
students accepted on to the course must obtain an enhanced DBS check (see https://www.gov.uk/disclosure-barring-service-check/overview
for more details), the paperwork for this is completed
during the training day.
You can
obtain some more information about the course here: M3T information.
There are
only a limited number of places available and admission to the course is by
application and interview, which will involve a presentation. You will need to
demonstrate commitment to the course and have good communication and
presentation skills. To be accepted
onto the course you will need to convince us that you will make an excellent
ambassador for both the Department and College.
M3T
will run during the spring term of the students’ third or fourth
year. Students will make initial
contact with their schools and mentor teachers during the autumn term. During
the spring term each student will spend half a day a week in the school for the
duration of the course. The students will meet with the Course Coordinators as
a group three times in the spring term, to review progress and in addition
there will be a weekly office hour.
It can be run in conjunction with a Pimlico placement.
