Mathematics Operational Research and Statistics, BSc (Hons), with study abroad

This course offers a strong foundation in the principles and methods of modern statistics and operational research. Operational research, also known as management science, applies sophisticated statistical and analytical tools to assist organisations and individuals in making efficient decisions. Professionals in this field may focus on determining manpower and resources, optimising supply and procurement sequences, or developing customer profiles and segments. The four-year degree provides comprehensive training in mathematical theory and techniques, equipping students with essential skills for statistical analysis, including data collection, modelling, and simulation, to address complex organisational challenges.During the third year, students will study at an international university before returning to Cardiff for their final year, with institutional support for applications. This experience broadens academic knowledge, fosters cultural immersion, and enhances employability through skills like communication, adaptability, and collaboration, while offering networking opportunities and personal growth. The programme is flexible, allowing students to switch between mathematics degrees at the end of the first year if preferences change.
