Reviews
Testimonials

I thoroughly enjoyed working with my tutor, with whom I spent long hours on calls going through material, as well as occasionally going on tangents about our shared interests. He was really helpful, especially providing more digestible examples for more complex concepts.

Daily social activities with participants around the world

Students can connect with like-minded individuals from around the world, and are encouraged to socialise and make friends through daily activities and games after classes finish.

Activities include virtual college tours, murder mystery parties and a ‘University Challenge’-style quiz.

These sessions are led by Oxbridge undergraduates who act as Mentors for Online Insights participants. This is a fantastic opportunity for participants to hear from students at Oxford and Cambridge University, and receive guidance and advice on studying at one of the world’s top universities.

Sample Mathematics Lessons

To see how the Online Insights programme is structured, please view the timetable.
  • Module 1 - Matrix Calculus

    Dive into the ubiquitous nature of matrices as they are represented in equations, geometric transformations, complex numbers, and even particles used in physics! An advantageous skill when undertaking any scientific discipline, you will start from linear systems, develop the formalism of matrices and transform them using the Gauss-Jordan method.
  • Module 2 - Real Analysis

    Explore the concept and definitions of numbers like Integers, Rationals and Reals. You will engage with key definitions such as sequences, series, limits of functions, and infinite series. By tying in real-world applications, such as how infinite series allow computers to calculate any kind of function, you'll learn to not only ‘write mathematics’, but also start to understand how maths affects today’s world.
  • Module 3 - Vector Spaces

    Vector spaces are the way to see the underlying geometry that spontaneously arises from algebra! You'll learn to deal with higher-dimensional spaces, where your eyes cannot see, but your mind can, through algebra. This generality is needed for instance in physics, where the theory of relativity requires a four-dimensional vector space.
  • Module 4 - Project Presentation

    This will be the most diverse and exciting day of the programme. A session devoted to enabling both you and your peers to share your own mathematical interests, develop useful presentation skills including ‘writing’ mathematics, and receive insightful feedback.
