Opportunities

Here are some opportunities listed for students that want to pursue mathematics and physics.

I’ve just listed some, but I always recommend to google for example “undergraduate summer school mathematics” or something!

A lot of the opportunities I had as a student did however come from ‘cold emailing’ researchers, but in a friendly and approachable way.

Send an email to a researcher at a university and ask if they have a project for you. You're one email away to do something very cool! You can even get sponsored financially by, for instance, London Mathematical Society's Undergraduate Research Bursaries.
