MORSE (Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics) and MMORSE

Modern applied mathematics for industry, management and finance

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.

Student Profile: Gaini Bishekova, 3rd year, MORSE

Gaini Bishekova

'MORSE is an ideal course for those who want to acquire deep knowledge not only in one or two areas, but four! It is very intensive in terms of workload, but it is more than worth it because MORSE graduates are highly employable in almost all sectors of the economy.

My second reason for choosing Warwick was its campus. We have our own Arts Centre where you can spend time with your friends at the cinema or theatre. I fell in love with Warwick even more when I found out that there are practice music rooms in the Arts Centre. That meant that I could continue playing the piano, which has been my passion for the last 12 years'.
