Offered as three-year (BSc MORSE) and four-year (MMORSE) variants, these degrees concentrate on modern developing areas of mathematics needed in industry, management, government and finance. You will begin your studies by developing and broadening your mathematical skills through a wide range of theoretical exercises and computing tasks. These techniques will be progressively focused – through the medium of Statistics, Mathematical Economics and Operational Research – to be used on an increasingly wide spectrum of different challenges commonly arising in business and commerce. Taking advantage of a wide range of options, you can customise your programme in your third year to apply your mathematical skills to problems related to professions to which you aspire. As an MMORSE student you will flesh out your specialisation by spending your final two years in one of four possible streams: Actuarial and Financial Mathematics; Operational Research and Statistics; Econometrics and Mathematical Economics; Statistics with Mathematics. You can also take an intercalated year, between your second and third, taking up paid employment in industry or in a research establishment. The year can also be spent abroad. For module information please visit the Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics website.

What careers can a Warwick degree in MORSE lead to? A MORSE degree provides an excellent basis for careers in many different areas including accountancy, actuarial work, investment banking and other finance, government, industry, management consultancy, operational research, statistics and technology. The ability to connect practical problems to mathematical methods from their core training, opens up a huge variety of career paths for MORSE graduates, well beyond the options listed above. The long-standing success and continuous growth of the Warwick MORSE programme has made it a “brand” highly valued by employers world-wide. Even during the recent economic downturn, MORSE graduates have been in high demand. The ability to solve problems with strategies that are deeply rooted in both mathematical methods and the area of application is a highly sought-after skill that distinguishes our graduates.
