| What it is | Data Science combines statistics, programming, and problem-solving to extract useful patterns and insights from large datasets. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program emphasizes the mathematical and statistical foundation needed to analyze data rather than just building software. A co-op placement is built in, so you'll work in real data roles while studying. It suits people who enjoy both math and logic puzzles and want to solve practical business problems using data. | You study pure and applied mathematics along with statistics, learning how to solve problems using mathematical reasoning and data analysis. Unlike a straight math degree, you can choose to do co-op, which means you work at paid internships in industry or research between study terms. This suits people who want flexibility in their career path and value real-world experience alongside theory. | This program teaches you mathematics and statistics at university level, with a focus on how to teach these subjects effectively to high school students. It differs from a straight mathematics degree because it includes education theory and practical teaching preparation alongside your math coursework. It suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to become secondary school teachers, or who want to keep their options open about teaching while deepening their math skills. | 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. |
