Peer Support

 

We know that life at university can be pretty daunting at times! Moving to a completely different part of the country or world whilst trying to balance a busy work load is not an easy thing to do. That’s why there are several schemes and student groups that can help you through this.

Maths

Maths Peer Assisted Learning

This scheme is designed to help first year Maths students with specific areas of their module content. You will be provided with study support once a week from second years, who can help you with content you are unsure on and struggling with. Most sessions take place on Thursday afternoons, check your online timetable for details of when and where to go.

 

MathSoc

MathSoc a lively community of Mathematics students who run the Maths Society (Mathsoc) on the Streatham campus. Social meetings and events are organised throughout the academic year and provide excellent opportunities for getting to know your fellow students outside of academic work time and most importantly having fun! Head over to The Guild's page to find out more.
