Abstract
A thorough grounding in mathematics is key for international students who wish to pursue an undergraduate degree in engineering or science disciplines in UK higher education. However, the diversity in mathematical attainment of international student cohorts can be extremely problematic and often students are prevented from reaching their potential by the presumptions of prior learning. A strategy for proactively identifying and bridging the gap in students’ mathematical knowledge is presented.
