This programme of study is also offered on a full-time basis. Please consult the Registrar's website for more information pertaining to courses offered by the University.
The MSc in Operations Research, as part of the masters' degree offerings by the Department of Statistics and Operations Research has been designed as a continuation in advanced studies in Probability, Statistics and Operations Research. The MSc course ranges widely over a large number of advanced topics in the main areas. The structure of the course centres around a dissertation in which theory and application come together in a logically coherent manner, complementing one another in the process of mastering a repertoire of mathematical, computational and statistical techniques. The acquired skills are assembled into a plan for solving problems originating within various applications. We also accept dissertations which are of a more theoretical bent provided the level of the mathematics involved is of a sufficient level. Once a plan for dissertation has been formulated, three supporting study units are selected to help the you acquire the techniques and theoretical underpinnings of relevant areas at a sufficiently deep level.
