This proves to be a difficult barrier for many mature students to overcome. The Mathematics team at Hope has designed a course which is appropriate, accessible and attractive to mature students. Most sessions involve students working in groups towards the solution of a problem offered by the course tutor.
Students write individual assignments based upon group work.
Final assessment is based upon continuous assessment and a final written paper. Students already accepted to undergraduate programmes do not need to complete a separate application form but should contact the Mathematics team in the September prior to registration.
