Free online STEP support Programme from the University of Cambridge
Free online STEP support Programme from the University of Cambridge
What is STEP?
STEP is an additional mathematics examination, taken at the end of Y13, which forms part of conditional offers to applicants for mathematics and some related degrees at Cambridge and some other universities.
STEP is designed to test candidates on questions that are similar in style to undergraduate mathematics. Although demanding, preparing for STEP gives you a chance to engage with interesting, challenging mathematics, to stretch yourself and to develop the mathematical reasoning, independence and confidence needed in an undergraduate mathematics degree.
STEP Support Programme – free online resources
We have launched this new online STEP Support programme to help university applicants develop their advanced problem-solving skills and prepare for sitting STEP Mathematics examinations. The programme is developed by the Faculty of Mathematics and NRICH. It consists of weekly online modules for individual additional study, and an online discussion forum. The resources are free and open to everyone.

Food for Thought – a new free online course from the Royal Veterinary College

Food for thought
The truth about food systems
Wholesome, tasty, safe and affordable food has always been important to all of us, as consumers. However, as we become more removed from agriculture, it becomes less clear as to who produces our food and how it can be produced safely and economically. As consumers, we are left with many questions “Can I believe what is on the label?”, “What affects the price of my shopping?”, “Who is involved in producing my food?”
Food for Thought
a new free online course
To help answer these questions the RVC is pioneering a new free online course open to all – “Food for Thought – The Truth about Food Systems”. The course focuses on the UK pork and egg industries through themes that include food safety, traceability, production cost and the people involved in the industry. Topics will be covered using a multimedia format, over three weeks, with only two to three hours recommended “study time” per week. A certificate of completion will be available for participants who successfully navigate the course and complete all the optional activities
