We have three EPSRC funded places for a one Master Degree in Risk and Reliability (stipend £9K).
Master of Research in Business and Management with Specialism in Risk and Reliability
Risk and reliability analysis is concerned with the ability of systems to function properly and the consequences when they do not. Such analysts plays a fundamental role in designing complex systems, often involving the interaction of humans, computers and machinery such as railways, aircraft or coastguard stations.
The aim of this degree is to produce graduates with sophisticated research skills to enable them to address the modern industrial challenges that confront risk and reliability analysts. The problems are typically multi-disciplinary and highly context dependent. This MRes differs from conventional MSc qualifications in two ways. Firstly there is a substantial emphasis on research training in the taught part of the course. This enables the student to select appropriate methodologies with which to approach the research problem at hand. Secondly, the research project part of the course is 6 months, enabling the student to really get to grips with an applied problem. This project will normally be completed in an industrial setting with a client. The duration of the programme is one full calendar year for full-time candidates and two years for part-time.
There is a strong group of researchers within the department of Management Science with interests in risk and reliability. Each is actively involved with developing modelling methodologies motivated by industrial involvement. While a significant part of this degree is independent research, the environment is supportive.
