运筹学专业涵盖最广泛意义上与决策相关的定量技术研究。您将采用解决问题的方法，使用高级分析方法，例如运筹学，财务数学，随机和数学建模以及数学优化。您还将使用各种软件并提高信息技术技能。由于运筹学注重人与技术的交互作用，并且注重实际应用，因此运筹学与其他学科重叠，尤其是工业工程和运维管理，经济学和金融学，因此它是一个多学科领域。该课程还将向您介绍对世界各国的经济和环境有重大贡献的不同行业和过程。这些包括制造和生产，管理，卫生保健，金融和经济学，货物和服务，基础设施，运输和物流，采矿和国防。该研究领域为各种职业
The operations research major encompasses the study of quantitative techniques relevant to decision-making in its broadest sense. You will employ a problem-solving approach, using advanced analytical methods such as operations research, financial mathematics, stochastic and mathematical modelling, and mathematical optimisation. You will also use a variety of software and improve your information technology skills. Because of its emphasis on human-technology interaction and its focus on practical applications, operations research is a multidisciplinary field, notably overlapping with industrial engineering and operations management, and economics and finance.<br><br>The coursework also introduces you to different industries and processes that greatly contribute to the economy and environment of nations around the world. These include manufacturing and production, management, health care, finance and economics, goods and services, infrastructure, transportation and logistics, mining and defence. This study area provides a foundation for a variety of careers and further study.<br><br>Operations research graduates typically have a wide range of choices for employment. The job markets for actuaries, finance and operations research analysts have been quite strong in recent years and are expected to remain so in the near future. In addition, students with excellent grades who desire more education in these areas will find a large number of opportunities for postgraduate study. The operations research major prepares you for careers or for further postgraduate study in such technical fields as management science, information technology, industrial engineering, strategic planning, systems analysis, financial analysis and actuarial science.
