Introduction
Key dates and structure of the programme.
Programme structure
There are three parts to the programme structure:
- Part 1 covers the core skills of Operational Research. The majority of the core courses are in Semester 1.
- Part 2 gives you the opportunity to tailor your degree to your own future objectives by selecting from a broad range of optional courses. These are taught mainly in Semester 2. Parts 1 and 2 are taken by both Diploma and MSc students.
- Part 3 is for MSc students only. It begins in June and comprises three months of project work on which you base your dissertation.
