The UAS (Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme) is a national programme, endorsed by the DTI (Department of Trade & Industry) and DfES (Department for Education and Skills) joint project "Science and Engineering Ambassadors Scheme" and was started by the author Simon Singh (who has links with the Mathematics Department) at Royal Holloway.
The scheme provides an opportunity for third year undergraduates to gain valuable transferable skills by giving them first-hand experience of science education. Each student spends half a day each week for one term in a local school under the supervision of a specific teacher, who will act as a trainer and mentor, and determine the tasks and responsibilities of the student. This course counts towards the final degree result in the same way as other third year maths courses.
