MMIP 2025
MMIP, short for Mathematics Mock Interview Programme, is a 3.5-month long intensive mock interview preparation programme aimed at ambitious students who are applying to study Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
Competitively selected Year 13 students gather to prepare for their upcoming Mathematics interview with a curated network of Cambridge Mathematics academics and students.
It was great to see ambitious students challenging themselves to improve their mathematics and interview skills on the mock interview programme. Seeing the progress they made over the weeks was a testament to both the strength of the programme and the students’ commitment to mathematics and their applications to top universities. Huey organised an exceptional programme and created a supportive and intellectually vibrant environment for both students and tutors.

Programme
Each session includes 2-3 students answering questions in real-time, with others observing and learning. Everyone receives the questions, and all students benefit from the post-interview discussion and Q&A. The active students also receive individualised feedback after the mock interview. This approach lets students learn both by doing and by watching others tackle similar challenges. We designed this structure in order to keep the group sizes small enough that every student - whether actively participating or observing - gets real value.
