Registration

How to participate

Each University (mathematics and/or statistics department) in the UK via their nominated representative member of staff can nominate up to three students to participate in this summer school in person, and a further five to participate online. Each candidate must have completed (the equivalent of) at least two full academic years of an undergraduate degree in mathematics/statistics at the time that the Summer School takes place and be continuing their mathematics undergraduate degree after the Summer School has finished. The final participants will be decided by the local Organising Committee at the University of Bath.

Students who would like to participate are recommended to discuss the event with their LMS local representative or Head of Department, please do not contact the organising committee directly.

Registration form

If you would like to participate, please discuss with your LMS local representative or Head of Department, and then complete and return this nomination form (.doc), together with a copy of your academic transcript to date, to your Head of Department or LMS Representative who will forward nominations to the University of Bath.

Nominations should be received by 30 April 2025 and be sent to lms-summer-school@bath.ac.uk. Institutions are asked to send their nominations with a cover letter that separately ranks their nominees for in-person and online participation, and to send nominations and transcripts in either Word or .PDF format.

Registration fee

The LMS asks Departments to provide a contribution of £250 for each candidate accepted to attend the LMS Undergraduate Summer School in person, and £25 per student participating online.

Accommodation and travel

In-person participants are provided with accommodation and meals during the summer school. However, departments are asked to support participants’ travel costs, as the summer school is not normally able to do so.

Criteria for Nominations

To achieve an inclusive and cooperative working atmosphere, each LMS Undergraduate Summer School is usually limited to 50 in-person participants, so the organisers will need to be highly selective. Indeed a high level of ability and enthusiasm for mathematics is essential to enjoy and benefit from the LMS Undergraduate Summer School.

Participation of women students in the LMS Undergraduate Summer School is particularly important as there is a recognised lack of women continuing on to postgraduate study. To this end UK Institutions are asked to nominate both female and male students.
