Maths and Science
Discover why some people love science and mathematics and why there is excitement in looking at the stars, in peering through a microscope and in formulae that unpack the secrets of our world. We have tutors who will demystify the theories and practices of these two building blocks of our knowledge of the world. Have fun, learn something new and join with fellow students to discover the joys of mathematics and science.
