Operations Research and Optimization - Specialization
Operations Research and Optimization
Operations Research (OR) and optimization are widely applied in science, engineering, economics and industry. This specialization offers students the knowledge of using OR and optimization to aid problem-solving and decision-making in engineering.
Specialization specific courses
The student must follow the requirements in the general curriculum for the programme. In addition, at least 20 ECTS points are obtained among the following courses:
| 02428 | Dynamic Optimization | 5 | point | Autumn E2A (Mon 13-17) |
| 02611 | Optimization for Data Science | 5 | point | Spring F5B (Wed 13-17) |
| 02612 | Constrained Optimization | 5 | point | Spring F4A (Tues 13-17) |
| 42112 | Mathematical Programming Modelling | 5 | point | January |
| 42114 | Integer Programming | 5 | point | Autumn E4A (Tues 13-17) |
| 42115 | Network Optimization | 5 | point | Autumn E4B (Fri 8-12) |
| 42136 | Advanced Operations Research Methods | 5 | point | Spring F2B (Thurs 8-12) |
Recommended elective courses
The following courses are recommended for the specialization:
| 02435 | Decision-Making Under Uncertainty | 5 | point | Spring F4A (Tues 13-17) |
| 46750 | Optimization in modern power systems | 5 | point | Autumn E5A (Wed 8-12) |
Examples of study plans
Four examples are shown: two focusing on optimization methods and two focusing on operation research. Both include study plans for students beginning in September or in February.
The study plans are examples only. Students are free to exchange the shown courses with other courses if the general requirements for the curriculum in mathmatical modelling and computation and the specialisation are satisfied. The proposed plans fulfil requirements of the MMC curriculum.

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
