We are delighted to announce that in September 2025 the two‐day Induction Course for lecturers new to teaching mathematics and statistics within Higher Education will once again take place. The Induction Course is delivered as an in‐person only activity to maximise the opportunities for informal networking and discussion that have long formed a highly valued part of this meeting. The Induction Course for New Lecturers in the Mathematical Sciences has been designed by the mathematics community so that it is ideally suited for anyone who is new to, or has limited experience, teaching mathematics or statistics within UK higher education. It will be delivered by individuals with significant experience of teaching in the mathematical sciences and will focus upon the specific details and issues that arise in mathematics and statistics teaching and learning within higher education. Topics include:
• Lecturing.
• Supporting student learning.
• Making teaching interactive.
• Assessment, examinations and feedback.
• Linking teaching & research.
• Using technology to enhance teaching and learning.
• Using examples and mathematical problem solving.
• Teaching statistics and its applications.
Additionally, there will be significant opportunities for delegates to discuss their own ideas, challenges and experiences with the session facilitators so that individual queries can be answered.
Through attendance at the course, the IMA will provide CPD certificates relating to professional development.
The Induction Course takes place at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge and commences at 9:30am on 15 September and ends at approximately 4:00pm on 16 September.
