The University of Essex MPhil Operational Research gives students the opportunity to explore areas where optimization and mathematical modelling are important. These include logistics, revenue management, networks and stochastic control; areas of great practical interest and use in the public and private sectors. Essex's projects often have an experimental aspect which is underpinned by forefront mathematical and computational research in these areas.
Essex's staff are strongly committed to research and teaching. They have published several well-regarded text books and are world leaders in their individual specialisms, with their papers appearing in learned journals such as; International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research, Transportation Science, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Mathematical Problems in Engineering, and European Journal of Operational Research.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences has an international reputation in all areas of Mathematical Sciences including: statistics, operational research, applied mathematics, pure mathematics, and actuarial science.
Studying a research degree in mathematics gives students the opportunity to develop new skills and enhance their CV. It can also be the next step towards a PhD and an academic career.
Graduates have joined organizations like the Met Office, the Ministry of Defence, and companies based in the City of London. There is a high demand for those with a numerate background in all sectors of the economy, so Essex's graduates are sought after in the UK and abroad.
