PROMYS Europe 2026: 12 July – 22 August.
Announcing PROMYS Europe 2026, a challenging six-week residential mathematics summer programme at the University of Oxford, UK.
PROMYS Europe is seeking applications from undergraduate students who would like to work as counsellors (subject to having the right to work in the UK). The closing date is 2 February.
PROMYS Europe is designed to encourage mathematically ambitious students who are at least 16 to explore the creative world of mathematics. Participants will tackle fundamental mathematical questions within a richly stimulating and supportive community of fellow first-year students, returning students, undergraduate counsellors, faculty and visiting mathematicians.
The programme consists of a series of very challenging problem sets, daily lectures, and exploration projects in Number Theory. There will also be a programme of talks, by guest mathematicians and the counsellors, on a wide range of mathematical subjects, as well as courses aimed primarily at students who are returning to PROMYS Europe for a second or third time.
Counsellors provide positive mathematical role models for the young people at PROMYS Europe, encouraging and supporting them as they work on the daily problem sets and with an eye to their academic and pastoral wellbeing. In addition, they contribute to a programme of mathematical enrichment amongst the other counsellors as well as organising non-mathematical social activities for the group as a whole. Counsellors receive a stipend along with meals and accommodation for the duration of the programme.
For the job description, selection criteria and stipend, please visit the Counsellor applications page on the PROMYS Europe website where you will also find details of how to apply.
The closing date for counsellor applications is 2 February.
