This course provides a solid foundation in the ideas and techniques of modern statistics and operational research. Operational research, or management science, uses advanced statistical and analytical techniques to help organisations and individuals make decisions efficiently. Working in this field, you might be: - determining manpower and resources - finding sequences in a supply and procurement chain- developing customer profiles and segments This five-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. The MMORS shares the same core as our BSc in Mathematics, Operational Research and Statistics but enables you to explore your areas of interest in greater depth, through optional modules, specialised year four modules and via a substantial research project. This course provides the ideal preparation for high-level entry into relevant professions, and is also a solid base for pursuing a research career.On this course you would study at a university abroad during your third year before returning to Cardiff. Our School has agreements with institutions across the globe, and you will have support to apply for your overseas year.Studying abroad as part of your university experience is a great way to broaden your academic knowledge, immerse yourself in another culture and gain skills that could be valued by employers. Not only can it enhance your CV by demonstrating key skills such as communication, flexibility and collaborative working, it can also provide you with valuable networking opportunities. Above all, it is the start of a new adventure. A chance to experience different cultures and viewpoints, make new friends and share unforgettable experiences. In your final year you will complete a major piece of project work, which could include: - a survey of an existing area of mathematical theory not covered in taught modules - an introductory research project - the development of a piece of mathematical software Not only will you explore a research topic of your choice, but you will also develop the professional skills that graduate employers are looking for. Our degree schemes are flexible, so in most cases you're free to switch between our mathematics degrees at the end of year one if you decide not to take the year abroad or your interests change.
