York’s three-year mathematics programme provides not only the generic skills highly sought after by employers but also the mathematical knowledge specifically required for certain careers. A four-year programme is also offered, for those who wish to study mathematics to a higher level and prepare for careers as professional mathematicians in industry and research.

"The quality of the four-year MMath programme is impressive ... the best students [are] comparable with the best anywhere"
- Prof. Anne Davis (Cambridge), External Examiner

The first year provides a solid foundation in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. This allows you, from the second year onwards, the opportunity to study the areas that most interest you from a wide choice of modules, from Group Theory to Classical Mechanics, from Financial Mathematics to Medical Statistics.

In your final year, you spend one third of your time producing a substantial project in an area of your choice.

York also has an active Maths Society, who organise popular maths talks, social events and more. Their weekly Coffee (and Calculus) sessions are very well attended, and provide a friendly place to discuss problems in a social setting.
