Overview

When you chose to visit this page, the decision you made was based on both the information you had to hand and a degree of chance. Whenever people make a decision in business, law or science, they do the same thing. Operations Research takes this idea even further. The study of Operations Research at Victoria is the study of scientific techniques for decision making.

Operations researchers examine systems and demonstrate watertight, scientific reasons for the decisions that are made in finance, management, government, and industry - and measure the uncertainty involved too. Studying Operations Research provides you with the tools and skills to plan and model complex systems, and provide rational and optimal solutions.
