Provide students with an insight into the process of working in a mathematics-related setting different from the University of Liverpool;

Expose students to new research, cultural and working environments;

Develop students’ confidence to work independently and in a team, and to effectively and efficiently apply mathematics to attain a set goal;

Develop students’ ability to communicate mathematical concepts and findings in a variety of formats;

Develop students' employability skills.

(LO1) To reflect on skills development and experiences, and document project development or other related experiences, while working outside the University of Liverpool environment.

(LO2) To communicate mathematical results and the experiences gained during the internship via different methods.

(LO3) To write a report on the mathematics-related topic explored during the internship and main project outcomes.

(LO4) To identify and articulate personal and professional transferable skills and connect them to their employability.

Students engage in a limited investigation of a mathematics-related problem. Projects may include modelling, computations, theory and partially extended literature review. If possible, students should encounter applications or research-level material. In general, all projects are designed to meet the same set of learning outcomes, including background reading, conducting a mathematics-related project, analysing and communicating findings orally and in writing. However, the exact nature and format of projects may vary.
