Course Description
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 four-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.
On this course, you will study at a university abroad during your third year before returning to Cardiff for a final year of studies. 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 will 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 other cultures and viewpoints, make new friends and share unforgettable experiences.
Our degree schemes are flexible, so 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.
