IEOR Course programme

Industrial Engineering and Operations Research is supported by the two chairs: Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Programming, and Stochastic Operations Research, with a strong international reputation in fundamental research and education in the areas of operations research and statistics and their applications in telecommunications, logistics and reliability. Research is concentrated in the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology. The specialization IEOR provides a scientific attitude, combined with the necessary engineering skills to tackle problems in the broad area of operations research and statistics as an expert in at least one sub-area such as queuing theory, game theory, scheduling, combinatorial optimization, nonlinear programming or graph theory.

The specialization consists of a one-year course programme, followed by one year of practical training (traineeship), and graduation (master’s thesis). It is possible to include some courses in the programme for the second year.
