Description
Operations Research
In the specialisation in Operations Research (OR) you will learn how to design mathematical methods that help to improve many facets of our increasingly complex society. With a specialisation in OR you will easily find work for example as a business or data analyst.
Through studying OR, you will learn how to design mathematical methods aimed at optimal decision making. Subjects covered in this specialisation include Discrete and Continuous Optimisation, Game Theory, Markov Decision Theory, and Queuing Theory. Upon graduation you will have acquired a broad theoretical foundation in these areas, and know how to apply and implement analytical and algorithmic tools, that enable ground-breaking progress in business and society.
How do you make a residential area energy neutral? How to schedule an Operating Room in a hospital? How do you design train timetables to reduce expected passenger delays? How to model 5G? Or how do we improve daily traffic in our cities? These are just a few of the challenges that can be addressed by the methods taught in this specialisation. Studying OR, you will learn how to design mathematical methods that allow to make better decisions or find optimal solutions for many of the challenges of our digital society.
