Congratulations on reaching the end of the academic year! Please join us for celebratory drinks and nibbles at The Alchemist (Westgate, Bonn Square, Oxford OX1 1TR) at 19:00-21:00 on Thursday 12th June to chat with our team about life at Optiver, our roles, and the opportunity to make an early application this summer.

 Feel free to bring a friend who could be interested in a role in trading, research, or software engineering.

The MSc in Mathematical Sciences (OMMS) is a standalone MSc which runs parallel with Part C and will be taking on its fourth cohort of students in the next academic year. To help the MSc students feel welcome in the department, we have set up a buddy system where an OMMS student will be paired with a current Part B student who's staying on to Part C, so they can communicate over the summer if they choose.

The Fair’s aim is to show young people (aged 11-14) how many exciting and rewarding opportunities there are out there for them with the right experience and qualifications.

This week a neuroscientist and a mathematician talk about the challenges of collaboration. Here are Leo and Ramón:
