Programme Outline
The MRes programme entails taking appropriate lectures and assessments drawn from the taught postgraduate programmes in the Department of Management Science or the wider School. If you are intending to specialise in Operational Research the modules will be drawn from those offered in the department's postgraduate programmes. If you are considering Operations Management, Systems and Information Management the MRes will include appropriate modules from other programmes within the Management School. These will be chosen by agreement between you and the programme director, based upon your intended field of research and gaps in your current knowledge.
Coursework takes up to 40% of the student's programme. The remainder of the year is spent in a review of the literature and a supervised research project. You must present an acceptable dissertation describing the research done.
Assessment
The assessment procedures for the taught components are the same as for the taught MSc programmes. A dissertation must be submitted on the research by mid September. If you are on the doctoral programme, your progress will be reviewed in early August and if it is satisfactory, you may continue as a doctoral student.
