Mathematics (Operations Research), Bachelor

Operations research is a mathematical discipline that considers how to make appropriate and better decisions in complex decision-making problems. It deals with how best to design, operate and/or predict behaviour of complex systems like people, machinery, materials and money in industry, business, finance, education, government and defence. Mathematics graduates play integral roles in the workplace, developing mathematical models and numerical algorithms to answer what-if scenarios, and design experiments to help guide research and improve processes. 

Customise your degree

Foster your passion and shape your career through complementary study areas. As well as choosing a major area of study, your course includes a second study area, which can be either a second major or double minor. A second major can complement your major area of study, giving you the opportunity to develop a significant depth of knowledge and skills in two discipline areas. Mathematics Second Major

• ​Data Science provides the necessary skills to be a data scientist including statistical methods and data visualisation, computational tools and data management techniques for large datasets, and high-performance computing resources and techniques. This unique skill-set in statistics and computing will allow you to cope with sophisticated models applied to complex and/or large datasets.
