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 solving real-world problems from running an airline to designing a state of the art football stadium using O.R. techniques.
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.
If you’re already at university and thinking more seriously about careers options, our careers pages feature some profiles of people who work in O.R. and describe what they do. You’ll also find details of our annual Careers Open Day where students can learn more about careers in O.R. and meet potential employers.
