Levelling up: Maths for Black heritage students
2 March 2023
Applications are now open for our Levelling Up: Maths mentoring programme for Black heritage students who are currently in Year 12 and studying A level Mathematics.
The programme - a collaboration between learned societies, educational charities and organisations across STEM and the Black community - aims to address the underrepresentation of Black heritage students in STEM subjects at universities across the UK.
Participants will attend a launch event on campus on Saturday 20 May where they will meet their mentors, who they will take part in fortnightly online mentoring sessions with, up until the A level examinations in June 2024.
The sessions will cover academic content as well as study skills, so students can approach their exams and university applications with increased confidence. There is no charge to schools or participants.
You can find out more on the University of Kent website and apply here. A poster (PDF, 606.6 KB) is also available for sharing. The deadline for applications is Friday 14 April 2023.
