About this course
The BSc degree in Mathematics and Management from York will develop your mathematical, statistical, financial and operations skills to a level that will give you an excellent platform to apply your knowledge as a quantitative business analyst. In the course of the degree, your mathematical skills (calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics) will be developed to a high level of sophistication, and your mathematical and statistical reasoning will be sharpened. In parallel, you will learn in depth about the business context in which business analysts and operations managers work by working on real-life cases in various modules, through the study of economics, finance and accounting. By the end, you will be a multi-faceted and highly employable graduate with the ability to formulate, implement, analyse and criticise complex operational and financial models, to deploy them in the real world and to communicate their results to stakeholders. Throughout the programme you will be guided by dedicated staff, many of whom are leading international researchers in their fields. The unique balance of the programme, combining the strengths of both the University of York Management School and the Department of Mathematics, together with York's reputation as a top Russell Group university, make the BSc in Mathematics and Management an outstanding choice. While many graduates will go on to become operations managers and business analysts, the skills acquired will also be readily applicable to many other careers that call for an advanced mathematics degree and problem-solving ability.

Top job areas of graduates
As only a small number of students take courses in this subject area, there isn't much information on what graduates do when they finish, so bear that in mind when you review any stats. Management, finance and business roles are common, but it's a good idea to ask tutors what previous graduates taking specific courses went on to do when you're at an open day.

Top job areas of graduates
Not a very common degree on its own, this is often taken in combination with maths degrees. The skills gained by operational research graduates mean that they are in demand, so have a low unemployment rate and pretty respectable salaries, especially in finance and in London - the average starting salary for OR graduates in the capital was nearly £33,000 last year.
