WMC FINALS
FOR GOLDEN TICKET INVITEES
This comprises TWELVE rounds across a whole week within a University College residential setting. What else would you expect if you'd like to be crowned the winner of the World Mathematics Championships®?
CONGRATULATIONS Golden Ticket holders - this is where you come to find out about the next
World Mathematics Championships® Finals!
Golden Ticket winners are invited to these finals as individuals, and schools may also make it a staffed trip if they prefer. After accepting the Golden Ticket, the registration form contains a section to enter the names of friends they know are also going and would like to be in Collaboration Teams with.
Note, this is a UNIVERSITY RESIDENTIAL experience. We assume duty of care guardianship for individuals across the whole event week. We do NOT stay in a hotel, and so we cannot accept early arrivals or late departures, nor can we provide parental accommodation.
As spaces are limited and we are required to confirm all bookings many months in advance, all Golden Tickets need to be fully accepted (payment received) WITHIN TWO WEEKS of your Qualifier celebration. For Senior Finals, we need to pay 12 months in advance, so note the maximum possible refund is when more than 3 months before the event at 30% of the fees. If you source another Gold Ticket holder to be your replacement, then we can accommodate a name switch.
You should arrive during the morning of the first day and depart during the morning of the final day, with your own travel and medical insurance and tourist visa for the country. We can provide letters of invitation for visa purposes.
Some rounds will be the same as were enjoyed in qualifying, many will be similar, and there will also be a few rounds that are new!
How to accept your Golden Ticket
1. Login and from the dashboard:
a. Click 'Accept'
b. Confirm and make payment
2. We look forward to welcoming your child into the University on the first morning!

The most important preparation you could do is having:
- confidence in articulating conceptual understanding of the mathematics you have experienced so far, verbally as well as in writing.
- the awareness and skills to manage diverse team dynamics (in stressful situations).
- Thinking about how you would approach this problem might prove useful.
- Similarly, it is wise to engage with data analysis methods.
- Knowledge of the tools used to articulate logical arguements and make formal mathematical proofs.
