Teaching
You will learn from a combination of lectures, small-group tutorials and practical sessions based in the Statistics Departments well-equipped undergraduate computing laboratory. Many core modules are designed specifically with MORSE students in mind. These cover the technical intricacies of theoretical subjects while emphasising their modern applications.
Core modules are taught by staff from all four partner departments and involve deriving theorems, optimisation, quantitative reasoning and modelling complex systems. MMORSE students work on their own research project under the guidance of a lecturer or professor.
In most of recent years, Overseas and European students form at least one-third of the intake allowing our students to form lifelong, global friendship networks whilst at Warwick.
