Learn how to overcome the major challenges facing industry, business and the public sector today, and influence the decision-making processes of the future. This course gives you the cutting edge analytical approaches, methodologies and tools you need to confidently tackle problems and improve outcomes.
The aim of the course is to give students a solid quantitative foundation alongside practical problem-solving techniques. Much of your learning involves real-life scenarios using case studies, individual and team consulting-based assignments, presentations and software tools. Much of the coursework takes the form of consulting-style cases, some done in small teams and including presentations.
The core of the course is formed by four analytics units covering fundamental toolkit areas of decision sciences, applied operational research and statistics. The approach is to consider application of these analytical methodologies and toolkits to common problem areas across business and management.
The other four units may be chosen from a broad range of options, according to your interests, background and intended career directions. Useful `themes' that combine well with the core analytics modules include:
* Traditional operational research and applied mathematics and statistics
* Information systems concepts and tools
* Operations management and process change and improvement approaches
* Project management
* Supply chain management, logistics and procurement
* Financial modelling
