What skills and experience we're looking for

The Department

The Faculty of Maths are a team of dedicated educators who are passionate about their subject and are committed to fostering a love of Mathematics with our students. The core intent of the department is to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to be proficient mathematicians and be able to use these skills in the real world.
