Operational Research has been established at LSE for over 40 years, and became an independent Department in 1997. The Department's strength, in teaching and research, is its expertise across the spectrum from 'hard' to 'soft' methods. The Department runs an undergraduate degree in Management Sciences, and two masters programmes in Decision Sciences and in Operational Research. Further details about these courses can be found on the Department's website at http://www.lse.ac.uk/Depts/op-research
The department's teaching was rated 'excellent' by the HEFCE quality assessment in 1994. In the 2002 Research Assessment Exercise the Department formed a major part of the Business and Management unit of assessment which was rated 5. There is an opportunity for the appointee to collaborate with the established research programme in Risk and Regulation, and with LSE Health.
