A place to begin
You do not need to arrive
with every answer.
Bring a question you care about and a willingness to work. We want to understand how you learn.
How to applyIs previous Olympiad experience required?
No. The application gives you a chance to show your reasoning directly. We consider what you have done with the opportunities available to you.
Can a parent or guardian help?
Yes, with contact details and consent. The student should write the essays and explain their own mathematical thinking.
Who can I speak to?
Contact our team for help with application questions.
