M.Sc. Operational Research or Master of Science in Operational Research is a postgraduate Networking course. Operational Research (OR) is the area of study where the students learn to use advanced analytical techniques for better decision making. Sometimes it is also called Operations Research, Industrial Engineering or Management Science. By studying Operational Research, you will develop a valuable combination of mathematical, modelling, analytical, computing, and interpersonal and communication skills. The aim of the programme is to provide you with all the skills required for a successful career, and so a wide spectrum of techniques and approaches from management and other non-mathematical disciplines is covered.
