Maths with a year abroad question?

I have applied to do a year abroad as I would like to learn another language and wanted to ask a question.

Does it look like a worse degree to employers as it's not done in 3yrs??

even though you do maths for 4 year?

Is it looked down on or is it just as good as a 3yr maths degree??

It is a bsc by the way.

thanks!

From what I've heard, I'd say it's probably seen as better than just the standard 3 years since you have that extra international exposure. However, it may well be harder since once you return from abroad then you would have a sudden increase in workload.

From what I've seen, people who have done a year abroad tended to get lower marks than everyone else on average although there may be other factors involved. You should bear this in mind though since ultimately your degree classification is the most important factor with job applications etc.
