Finance, Operations Research, Management and Statistics BSc (Hons)

The BSc degree in Finance, Operational Research, Management and Statistics (FORMS) from York will develop your mathematical, statistical, financial and operations skills to a level that will give you an excellent platform to apply your knowledge as a quantitative business analyst. In the course of the degree, your mathematical skills (calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics) will be developed to a high level of sophistication, and your mathematical and statistical reasoning will be sharpened. In parallel, you will learn in depth about the business context in which business analysts and operations managers work by working on real-life cases in various modules, through the study of economics, finance and accounting. By the end, you will be a multi-faceted and highly employable graduate with the ability to formulate, implement, analyse and criticise complex operational and financial models, to deploy them in the real world and to communicate their results to stakeholders. Throughout the programme you will be guided by dedicated staff, many of whom are leading international researchers in their fields. The unique balance of the programme, combining the strengths of both The York Management School and the Department of Mathematics, together with York's reputation as a top Russell Group university, make the BSc. FORMS an outstanding choice. While many graduates will go on to become operations managers and business analysts, the skills acquired will also be readily applicable to many other careers that call for an advanced mathematics degree and problem-solving ability.
