Introducing your course
Operational researchers and statisticians play a fundamental role in the modern world. This MSc will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide effective solutions to complex organizational challenges. This includes all key stages of solving real-world problems:
-Providing analytical understanding the problem; possibly through designing experiments, collecting and visualizing data
-Mathematically formulating the problem and finding solution approaches
-Providing statistical analysis and computation
-Presenting and communicating the results
The programme contains compulsory modules that provide the foundation in both Operational Research and Statistics, and optional modules for students to specialise in these two areas (or to have a balance portfolio of them).
The summer dissertation gives you an opportunity to develop your research skills, often in a commercial setting, and our industrial liaison team will work with you to find a project that suits your skills and ambitions.
