Course Overview

This programme is ideal if you wish to work in decision support, business analytics, project management, marketing analytics, logistics, supply chain, industrial engineering, operational research or management science.

The employment record of our graduates is excellent and they are in demand from private and public sector businesses for their analytical skills.

Our approach emphasises four themes:

Quantitative Modelling: building and using mathematical and statistical models to help people plan and make better decisions.

Systems Thinking: seeing the whole picture, not just part of the problem.

Consulting Skills: how to work with people and to make an impact.

Real World Focus: putting theory into practice.

The programme offers a core of taught modules and then offers different paths through options and a four month project, many of which are carried out within organisations and provide excellent networking opportunities as well as the chance to use acquired analytical skills.
