WE PROVIDE PHD-LEVEL COURSES ON
ALL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS ANALYTICS AND
OPERATIONAL RESEARCH.
Our courses currently cover Optimisation and Heuristics, Simulation and Stochastic Modelling, Forecasting and Predictive Analytics, and System Dynamics.
What is NATCOR?
NATCOR was formed in 2007 to provide UK-based taught courses for PhD students in Operational Research. Since then, its scope has broadened, so that we welcome students and junior researchers in not only OR, but also areas such as business analytics, statistics, finance and engineering and also computer science.
NATCOR is approved by the UK OR Society, the Association of European OR Societies (EURO), the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), and the Smith Institute for Industrial Mathematics and System Engineering.

"NATCOR’s well organised courses gave me the opportunity to get a solid overview of areas of OR that I had little expertise in. This was done in a way that was accessible yet engaging and thought-provoking.” James Grant
