First Year Seminar Series

Professional and Personal Development Seminar Series for first year student members of the Department of Mathematics

The seminar series consists of a programme of eight one hour sessions held on Monday mornings throughout the academic year. It provides opportunities for students and members of staff to interact in a relaxed, non teaching setting. Lecturers, class teachers, and other departmental staff regularly attend and actively participate in the seminars.

The aims of the seminar series are to:

• Provide academic, professional and personal development support for first year students
• Introduce first year students to additional development opportunities offered by the School
• Address the challenges commonly faced during the transition from school to university and throughout undergraduate study
• Encourage a sense of cohesion and belonging among students, and support the development of relationships between students and members of the Department

First year students can find out more about the series on our Moodle site.

Any information relating to our Second Year Seminar Series will be sent out via email.

After every single seminar, I felt incredibly motivated to get as much as possible out of my degree.

You can always get constructive advice from it, along with biscuits and tea!

It builds a sense of community among students and members of the maths department while helping students adjust to university life.
