What happens after my Qualification Year?

Successful completion of your first year requirements will allow you entry into your designated Economics program.

What if I’m not successful in my Qualification Year?

Should you not be successful in completing these requirements, the courses you will take and the credits you earn will allow you to pursue a number of other exciting programs in your area of interest such as Business and Society. We will advise you of your options throughout your first year in order to take every step to ensure your success at York University and beyond.
