Coronavirus (COVID-19) update - Department of Mathematics
My colleagues and I are looking forward to the autumn term, which will see a blend of on-campus and online teaching sessions, developing flexibly to accommodate everyone's circumstances and the changing course of the pandemic. On all programmes, for new students and for those returning to York, we aim to retain our friendly atmosphere, personal contact and small-group teaching, whether or not you are here in person.
