NORTH West Regional College (NWRC) boosted its STEM strategy this week by becoming the first ever Northern Ireland further education college to provide a dedicated mathematics support centre.
The resources and guidance of the college’s expert staff are now available to students across NWRC who require support to improve their skills in the application of maths in order to help them with their chosen qualification, and to act as a conduit to drive mathematical innovation within the college curriculum.
Launching the initiative were College students and staff, who joined a range of special guests including Leo Murphy, NWRC principal and chief executive, Jonathan Cole, Queen’s University, Belfast, and Ciaran Mac an Bhaird, Maynooth University (both of whom are board members of the Irish Mathematics Learning Support Network).
