COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc (Hons) Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics (MORSE) program is structured to develop strong quantitative, analytical and decision-making skills through a blend of mathematics, statistics, economics and operational research. In the first year, students build a solid foundation through core modules such as Matrices and Calculus, Probability and Statistics, Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics, Computing for Business Decision Making and Managing Uncertainty in Business. These modules introduce essential mathematical techniques and economic principles, alongside practical skills for analysing and managing data in organisational contexts. In the second year, students deepen their expertise with core study in Applied Data Science, Business Optimisation and Simulation, Forecasting and Machine Learning, Microeconomic Analysis and Multivariate Probability and Statistics, with options including Games and Strategic Behaviour and Macroeconomic Analysis to tailor learning towards strategic decision-making or economic policy. The final year focuses on advanced applications and real-world problem solving, with core study in Statistical Inference and a wide range of optional modules such as Advanced Machine Learning for Data Mining, Advanced Optimisation and Simulation, Econometrics and Data Science in Economics, Mathematical Finance, Medical Statistics, Public Policy Analysis, Behavioural Economics and Supervised Learning. This flexible structure prepares students for careers in business analytics, consulting, finance, data science and operations management.
