Mathematics, Operational Research and Statistics BSc (Hons)

This course provides a solid foundation in the ideas and techniques of modern statistics and operational research. <br/><br/>Operational research, or management science, uses advanced statistical and analytical techniques to help organisations and individuals make decisions efficiently. <br/><br/>Working in this field, you might be: <br/><br/><br/>- determining manpower and resources <br/><br/><br/>- finding sequences in a supply and procurement chain<br/><br/><br/>- developing customer profiles and segments <br/><br/><br/>This three-year degree will give you a good grounding in general mathematical theory and techniques. You’ll develop the skills, methods and ways of thinking you need to become a confident statistical analyst, able to tackle complex organisational problems using methods such as data collection, statistical modelling and simulation. <br/><br/>In most cases, youre free to switch between our different mathematics degrees at the end of year one if your interests change. You will also have the opportunity to complete a professional placement year or a year abroad. You don’t need to commit to either of these options until the start of the second year, so there’s plenty of time to decide.
