Programme Aims
The primary aim of this programme is to produce graduates with strong operational research, risk analysis and statistical skills and a thorough understanding of their application in the world of modern operational research and risk analysis. The programme develops students’ analytical, critical and communication skills, which enables them to pursue a variety of jobs related to operational research and risk analysis, in areas such as logistics service provision, retail, banking, procurement/sourcing and supply chain functions, and modern financial product development and pricing.
Operational research, risk analysis, mathematics and statistics are fundamental yet constantly developing subjects. As well as being disciplines in their own right, they form the basis of modern commercial, financial, industrial and technological activities. Mathematical/operational research/statistical models underpin many aspects of operational research and risk analysis today. The secondary aim of the programme is to provide a solid theoretical foundation of operational research, risk analysis and statistics to its students, who will then be able to develop an outlook and powerful methodology that remains valuable in whatever careers they pursue in the fast moving world of business, commerce and finance industry.



Characteristics
Hong Kong is a gateway between East and West. As a global service centre, it plays a major role in interfacing between suppliers and customers around the world. To retain their leading competitive position in serving international markets, it is crucial for Hong Kong businesses to embrace best practices in operational research. As a result, companies are increasingly looking for innovative leaders with the vision and skill to manage their logistics. Moreover, this programme provides training in risk analysis so that graduates can serve policy makers and institutional investors, with foci on various types of financial products such as mutual funds and hedge funds.

Financial Assistance and Scholarships
Financial Assistance 
Students who have the right of abode in Hong Kong or have resided or have had their homes in Hong Kong continuously for three complete years immediately before commencing their studies in an award bearing PolyU programme (i.e. local students), are eligible to apply for the Government's Extended Non-means-tested Loan Scheme (ENLS). The scheme offers interest-bearing loans to eligible students for covering tuition fees. An administrative fee and a relatively higher interest rate are charged once the loan is drawn down until it is fully repaid. Applications are non-means tested, which means that there is no assessment of family's income and assets.
Also, there are some PolyU subjects/courses that have been approved for the Continuing Education Fund (CEF). Eligible students enrolled in courses included on the government's list of reimbursable courses may apply for subsidies. 
Scholarships 
Entry/admission scholarships may be provided by individual programme offering departments. Please visit the page "Tuition Fees - Taught Postgraduate Programmes" under individual programmes listed in
Study@PolyU webpage for scholarship availability and further enquiries. A limited number of post-entry scholarships are donated by outside organizations and individuals to postgraduate students. Most scholarship candidates are nominated by the Heads of academic departments based on academic merit.
PolyU reserves the right to change the terms or withdraw the above scholarship. In case of any dispute/disagreement, PolyU’s decision is final.
