Mathematics underpins all modern science and technology, and mathematicians are in high demand across a variety of fields.
University maths is about studying patterns in numbers, geometry and many other abstract concepts. It's also about applying those concepts in practical problem solving. Through this course, you will develop valuable skills for careers ranging from finance and IT to weather forecasting and engineering.
On this course, you'll spend your third year at one of our continental European partners. You'll experience different language and cultures, preparing you for international careers.
Teaching and assessment
You’ll study and learn with academics who are active researchers, experts in their field and have a passion for their subjects. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.
Careers and skills
A degree in mathematics helps you to harness the logic and problem solving skills needed to communicate complex ideas. These skills will be invaluable in whichever career path you choose to take.
Mathematical skills are invaluable in fields with obvious numerical components, but they are also readily transferable. Whatever the sector, mathematicians can help people to construct and analyse arguments, and to make good decisions.
During the course of your degree you'll have the chance to take part in the York Strengths programme which can help build your confidence, support your personal development and prepare you for the job market.
The Department also organizes an annual careers fair tailored specifically to maths students and the employers looking for them. With a flexible choice of modules available, you'll be able to tailor your degree to suit your own career aspirations.
Career opportunities
