Application Process:

PROMYS Europe Connect is a 4 week online programme for pre-university students who will be at least 16 years old by the start of the programme. Applicants may be in any year of secondary school or sixth form college including their final year. Students attending state-funded schools, independent or private schools, home schools, and other types of schools are all eligible to apply. PROMYS Europe Connect is open to students ordinarily resident in Europe; this includes all countries adjacent to the Mediterranean.

Lectures, discussions, and problem sets are in English. Applicants should possess English language skills which are strong enough to enable full participation. 

The application process includes a challenging problem set, a teacher recommendation form, and an application form which includes short essay questions about interest in joining PROMYS Europe Connect.

PROMYS Europe Connect seeks to attract applicants of the hightest ability and potential, regardless of background. Decisions on the admission of students will be based solely on individual merit, assessed via the application components outlined above.

PLEASE NOTE: Students who are eligible for PROMYS Europe Connect may apply either to PROMYS Europe Connect or to PROMYS (also online for 2021) at Boston University. They may not apply to both for the same summer.

If you have any questions, please contact us at admin@promys-europe.org.

    To be submitted by the applicant's teacher

  3. Online teacher recommendation form. Please ask one of your mathematics teachers to complete the form (this could be your maths teacher in school, a maths tutor/coach or a maths professor). This does NOT need to be submitted at the same time as the student application; it can be submitted at ANY time before or after the student application, but it must be submitted by the application deadline.
    Please note: it is the applicant's responsibility to ask one of their mathematics teachers to complete this form. We strongly encourage you to follow up with your teacher to ensure the recommendation is submitted by the application deadline, shown on the application form. Students are permitted only one teacher recommendation. If more than one recommendation is submitted PROMYS Europe will only consider the first one.
