You’ll learn from experts in Cardiff Business School and the School of Mathematics who specialise in various applications of data science, operational research and analytics across a range of manufacturing and service industries, discovering and communicating meaningful patterns from the data, and applying analytical tools to help private and public sector businesses make better strategic and operational decisions.
