Foundation Module Tab Panel

The MRes programme entails taking the core modules listed on the next tab, as well as appropriate lectures and assessments drawn from the taught postgraduate programmes in the Department of Management Science or the wider School.

If you are intending to specialise in Operational Research, the modules will be drawn from those offered in the Department's postgraduate programmes. If you are considering Operations Management, Systems and Information Management, the MRes will include appropriate modules from other programmes within the Management School. These will be chosen by agreement between you and the programme director, based upon your intended field of research and gaps in your current knowledge.

Coursework takes up to 40% of the programme. The remainder of the year is spent undertaking a literature review and a supervised research project and dissertation.

The Core modules are listed below.

This final term draws together all your learning from the earlier modules and enables you to show your skills in applying your knowledge to an in-depth piece of work - either a consultancy based project in which you will work in small groups (typically three) with a company client, or a research project, or a start-up project with related dissertation. Regardless of the type of project, it is always done in close collaboration with an academic supervisor at Lancaster. Dissertations are handed in during September, and graduation takes place at Lancaster in early December.
