At York, our Maths degree is about studying patterns in numbers, geometry and many other abstract concepts. It's also about applying those concepts in practical problem solving.
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.
A Maths degree is one of the most sought-after qualifications for key employers.

Year 1
In Year 1, you'll study a number of core modules which will give you a firm foundation across all areas of mathematics. They provide a platform for specialisation later in the degree.
You'll also be able to study a relevant language in preparation for your year abroad.
Core modules
You will take core modules which may include:
Calculus
Algebra
Mathematical Skills I: Reasoning and communication
Introduction to Probability and Statistics
Real Analysis
Introduction to Applied Mathematics
Year 2
In Year 2, your time will be shared between core modules, and option modules in two of three possible specialisms.
You'll also have further opportunities to study a relevant language ahead of your year abroad.
Core modules
You will take core modules which may include:
Advanced Calculus
Advanced Linear Algebra
Option modules
You will choose two streams, each consisting of two modules, from:
Pure Mathematics stream (groups, rings and fields, number theory, geometry)
Applied Mathematics stream (classical and quantum dynamics, Newtonian gravity and special relativity, waves and fluids)
Probability and Statistics stream (applied probability, statistical inference, linear models)
Year 3
You'll spend Year 3 at a university abroad, usually in Germany, France or Spain. You'll be taught in the language of the host country. You're encouraged to branch out and explore a wide range of modules.
Intensive and advanced language courses are sometimes available at your host university. Language courses at York in your first and second years will help you prepare for this.
Year 4
The main focus of your final year is your individual project. Alongside your project, you will choose from a range of option modules.
Core module
Final-year Project
The main focus of your final year is your individual project. Alongside your project, you will choose from a range of option modules.
Core module
Option modules
The specialisms you choose during your second year will affect which options are open to you. You will take four option modules concerning areas of mathematics which coincide with the Department's research interests. The precise nature of these modules may change, but the topics currently include:
Pure Mathematics: Algebraic Number Theory, Cryptography, Differential Geometry, Formal Languages and Automata, Galois Theory, Groups and Actions, Lebesgue Measure and Integration, Metric Spaces, Number Theory, Topology
Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics: Complex and Asymptotic Methods, Classical and Biological Fluid Dynamics, Dynamical Systems, Electromagnetism and Relativity, Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics, Mathematical Ecology and Epidemiology, Modelling with MATLAB, Numerical Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Quantum Information, Quantum Mechanics
Statistics and Mathematical Finance: Bayesian Statistics, Generalised Linear Models, Linear Optimisation and Game Theory, Mathematical Finance, Multivariate Analysis, Practical Data Science with R, Statistical Pattern Recognition, Stochastic Processes, Survival Analysis, Time Series
Many careers rely on logic and problem solving. A degree in mathematics helps you harness those skills to communicate complex ideas which is an asset for any career.
Previous graduates have gone on to succeed in a wide range of careers including:
software developer
actuarial analyst
trainee accountant
