Curriculum start year 2023-2024 and before

Transitional arrangements can be found under downloads.

The program offers four tracks (plus a special/free track) based on typical operational processes towards which the knowledge generated within OML field is directed:

  1. Manufacturing and Maintenance
  2. Services
  3. Supply chains
  4. Transport and Mobility
  5. Special/ free track

The systems in those domains show important differences that pose different questions and priorities, which require different types of models and solution methods. Accordingly, we propose different sets of track core and specialization elective courses for those tracks based on the approaches that are most relevant for them. We also provide design courses in each track core that are tailored towards the needs of the track. More detailed infomration on the tracks can be found under the different tabs at the left.

Despite the differentiation in the tracks, the program remains as one OML MSc program with tracks rather than five different OML MSc programs. The tracks are there to guide you from the beginning in order to help you choose the most relevant and appropriate courses for your master’s project.
