Why Pembroke?

• Whether you choose a career in business or industry or one in which mathematical skills play a more central role, the Oxford Mathematical courses aim to equip you with the ability to handle abstractions and to analyse problems rapidly and rigorously.
• Pembroke offers a diverse range of subject areas from algebraic geometry and number theory to algorithms and data sciences. Our tutoring system offers the opportunity for you to meet and engage with up-and-coming lecturers who are specialists in their own exciting fields of research. The College Library has copies of most of the standard textbooks and lecture notes required for lecture courses. Most of the tutorial teaching takes place at the College.
• The Maths society meets twice a term and offers engaging talks by guest speakers about the real-life application of mathematics. It also provides the unique opportunity to network with experts in a range of fields. To ensure that you feel at home at Pembroke as quickly as possible, you will be matched with a second year “buddy” so there is always someone to ask questions to, confide in, or just go for a coffee with.
• To be successful in Mathematics you need a real interest in the subject, coupled with a deep passion for abstract concepts. It is also important to possess creative flair and be able to think for yourself.
