Operational Research & Management Sciences

The group focuses on the practical application of Operational Research, the practice of OR and OR strategy as well as in strengthening its theoretical basis in model and methodology development. Much of the research looks at how OR methods can be used to improve real world problem situations.

There is also a strong interest in how OR can be performed more successfully within organisations such as the Health Service, the electricity industry and finance. We have a collaborative research project with Mathematics and Computer Science Departments called Discrete Mathematics and Applications (DiMAP).

The group also runs two specialist MSc programmes, the MSc in Management Science & Operational Research and, brand new for 2008, the MSc in Business Analytics & Consulting.
