This course is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) for the purpose of meeting, in part, the educational requirement for chartered status. Mathematics is universal, no matter what language you speak. A Maths degree is also one of the most sought-after qualifications by key employers. 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. Your assessments will mainly be examinations and regular homework. For the year abroad, assessment is based on coursework, examinations and a report submitted on returning to York. The mark for this year is not combined with the rest of the degree but stands alone. Many careers rely on logic and problem solving. A maths degree harnesses those skills to communicate complex ideas. This can be an asset for any career. Spending a year in Europe will enhance your language skills and employability even further.
