What it is	You study physics and mathematics together as equal subjects rather than choosing one as your major. This combined degree lets you apply mathematical theory directly to physical problems, giving you a deeper understanding of how the two fields connect. The program suits students who are strong in both subjects and want to use advanced math to solve real-world physics questions, whether in research, engineering, or technology.	A BA in Mathematics at York means you study pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics — the theory behind numbers, equations, and data analysis. You can choose to do the program with co-op, which means you alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at employers who need mathematical problem-solving skills. This suits people who want flexibility in how they learn and who value real-world experience alongside classroom study.	An Honours Mathematics degree means you study pure and applied mathematics at depth over four years, with required courses in calculus, algebra, analysis, and proof-based theory. Unlike a general math program, this honours stream demands rigorous mathematical reasoning and includes optional specializations through electives in computer science, physics, statistics, or economics. It suits students who enjoy abstract problem-solving and want a foundation for graduate studies or technical careers.	You study mathematics and economics together as equally important subjects, learning how to use mathematical methods to analyze economic problems and data. This combined degree differs from studying either subject alone because you build expertise in both fields rather than majoring in one and minoring in the other. It suits students who enjoy both abstract mathematics and real-world applications, and want to prepare for careers in finance, data analysis, or economic research.
