Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics (MORSE), BSc (Hons), with industry placement

BSc Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics, and Economics (MORSE) (Industry) is a focused degree for students aiming to apply mathematical expertise to real-world business and industry challenges. The programme builds foundational knowledge in algebra, calculus, probability, statistics, operational research, and economics, while incorporating programming languages like Python or R. It equips students with essential skills in analytical reasoning, quantitative analysis, optimisation, and data handling, preparing them for careers such as business analysts, data scientists, or operational researchers. A year in industry provides hands-on experience, enhancing employability and offering pathways to academic research.The programme structure begins with a first year establishing core modules in mathematics, statistics, economics, and operational research. In the second year, students deepen their expertise and select optional modules in areas like game theory or operations management. The third year involves a full-time placement for practical skills development, supported by the university. If a placement is unavailable, students can transfer to a non-placement track. The fourth year includes advanced modules in statistics, machine learning, and financial mathematics, allowing tailored specialisation.
