Originally, York wasn’t one of my university choices. Living in\u00a0East Yorkshire means that my parents are a mere 45 minute drive away, and at the time, that didn’t seem far enough!\u00a0I came to the summer Open Day at the end of Year 12, simply because it was<\/em> so close. I figured that it would be good to have something to compare other universities to, and let me tell you, I am SO glad I went!
\nWhen I arrived at the Open Day, there\u00a0was such a welcoming atmosphere. The students were friendly, people in the department were informative and interested in me as a person. I could imagine living there for 3 years and I felt like I fitted in which, for me,\u00a0was the most important thing. It was only once I’d experienced the atmosphere at York that I seriously considered applying there, and I started researching the Department of Maths in more detail.<\/p>\n

The first year at York is compulsory, and gives you a taste of all the different areas of mathematics. It’s compulsory\u00a0for a very good reason; it fills any gaps in your A Level knowledge, increases the size of your “mathematical toolbox”, and it gives you the chance to\u00a0work out what you do and don’t like!
\nStatistics modules were certainly not my favourite when studying maths at A Level, and initially I was annoyed at having to do a statistics module in first year. However, the way you’re taught at university is completely different to anything experienced at school. You’re taught by experts in their fields, people who do maths for a living. They’re enthusiastic, and they love what they do, and it makes learning so much more enjoyable. So despite the fact that I’m still not the biggest fan of statistics, I can appreciate the techniques used, and that it’s directly applicable to everyday life. And that’s all due to my statistics lecturer, who\u00a0became a hero within our year group, and has been a hero to first year students ever since.
\nThe second year then gives you the opportunity to choose some modules and focus more specifically on a particular branch of mathematics, such as pure mathematics. There are still some compulsory modules, but again, they teach you the skills you need to study maths at the next level.<\/p>\n

\"Third<\/a>

Third years get a free choice of modules. There are over 60 to\u00a0choose from, and it’s super hard to\u00a0only choose 8 modules from that list! They’re helpfully organised into ‘streams’ to help you chose modules that compliment each other;\u00a0pure maths, applied maths, mathematical finance and statistics. By this point in your degree, you’re\u00a0often interested in one of those four areas and most people choose modules from the same stream. Personally, I’m a pure maths kind of gal. The rest of third year is taken up by a large research project, which\u00a0I mentioned in my last blog post.<\/p>\n

Now I’m in third year, I appreciate the wide choice of modules even more. The workload is\u00a0much higher than it was in first year,\u00a0but I’m more motivated to\u00a0work in my free time.\u00a0I usually do at least 40 hours of academic work a week, including\u00a012 hours of lectures and seminars.\u00a0Studying for 40+ hours a week sounds like a lot, but it still\u00a0leaves plenty of time to try out sports and societies, experience York’s excellent nightlife or go to one of York’s many cafes for a refreshing cup of Yorkshire tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
