Undergraduate programmes in Management Science, Operations Management and Project Management
for business analytics and consulting
Overview
We offer flexible degree schemes that enable students to follow their main interests and to combine these with other subjects that they discover whilst at university. Our single honours degrees are in Management Science, Operations Management and Project Management. These schemes are available in variants that include a year of work experience or a year studying in the USA.
In addition, the department also offers a joint honours degree in Management Mathematics (previously Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research). For this degree, requests for a year of work experience or to study abroad will be given consideration on an individual basis.
