Are you in Year 12 and interested in studying Mathematics at the University of Cambridge? Are you wondering what the interview might be like? If so, come along to one of our Mathematics open mornings!

On Saturday 28 April and Saturday 5 May, our Mathematics academics and Admissions Director will be delivering a presentation about what you can expect from a Mathematics interview at Sidney and Cambridge. They will help to answer questions like, "Why do we interview?" and "What are Admissions Tutors looking for?". They will also go over the typical interview format for Mathematics, let you know what to expect at interview, and will cover some possible interview questions.

This session will start at 11.00am, and will take place in Chapel Court Room 1, Sidney Sussex College. The session will finish at 12 noon. Spaces will be prioritised for those who have booked. If there are still spaces on the day, then these will be available on a first come, first served basis.

You can book a space here: Interview Session Booking Form. We will confirm your place with you via email.  This session is available to prospective applicants only. Parents and guardians may explore the College grounds. 

Current undergraduate students will also be leading tours of College between 9.00-10.30am, and between 12.00-1.30pm. If you would like to join a tour, please wait outside the front of the Porters' Lodge (entrace directly opposite Sainsbury's down Sidney Street). Tours will set off every 25 minutes from the front of the Porters' Lodge. Tours will last up to 25 minutes. You do not need to register in advance to join a tour, but we will register your attendance on the day.

Please see the Faculty of Mathematics website for further information about booking a place at the Faculty open afternoons that will take place on Saturday 28 April and Saturday 5 May.
