Developing your mathematical skills
Depending on which programme you will be studying, it is likely you will need a good level of mathematical skill, and for some programmes, it is vital.
To help you prepare for study, we have developed online mathematics training so that you can review and practise your current mathematics skills and develop the confidence that you are ready to tackle the mathematics that you will meet on your degree programme.
We have designed the course to be completed over the summer in a couple of hours per week of study (or less if you are already confident in the required skills) across six weeks. Each week covers a different topic.
There are three different routes available, depending on the level of mathematics you have studied at school or college and the degree programme that you are studying at Loughborough. There will be a selection of activities and short tests that you can use as revision for any topics that you feel you need a refresher on.
Some non-STEM subjects such as the arts or drama may not include much mathematics, but we would advise that you complete at least the basic algebra section, which you will need for employment numeracy.
Being able to handle and apply mathematical and statistical concepts is important regardless of which programme you will be studying with us. This mathematics resource has been developed to help you start your course confidently.
