If you enjoy maths but you’re not sure how you could use it in a career, take a look at O.R. On these pages you’ll find a brief definition of what O.R. is and a movie showing people talking about their work in O.R.
If any of that looks interesting, click on the list of universities that teach O.R. degrees. If you’d like to see the kind of issues you’d be studying, we’ve included some learning materials and subject guides.
People employed in O.R. are graduates with good degrees. O.R. is a multidisciplinary area where entry is not limited to people with particular qualifications. Whilst many have followed courses with a significant mathematical, statistical or computing content, opportunities can exist for people from other disciplines and those who move into O.R. from other professions.
If you have a good degree and want to study further in O.R., click on ‘Postgraduate courses’. The OR Society runs its own specialist training programme which covers a wide range of techniques. These courses are available to both members and non-members of The Society.
