Master in Mathematics and applications
Operations Research, Combinatorics and Optimization (ORCO)
Presentation and goals
Semester 9 corresponds to the specialization training and semester 10 consists of a practicum in a company or laboratory of 5 to 7 months, which represents 27 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System credits.
The master Program in Operations Research, Combinatorics and Optimization is one of the possible specializations for the second year of the Master of Science in Computer Science. The courses are taught in English.
The scientific objectives are :
- To train students in the foundations and methods of Operational Research (Mathematical Programming, Graph Theory, Complexity, Stochastic Programming, Heuristics, Approximation Algorithms, etc.)
- To prepare students to use and develop these methods to solve complex industrial applications (supply chain, scheduling, transport, revenue management, etc.) and implement the corresponding software solutions.
Students leaving this course equipped to, according to their preferences,
- move towards the research professions (academic or industrial thesis),
- enter, as a specialist engineer, major research and development departments in optimization (SNCF, IBM, Air France, Amadeus, etc.) or
- enter optimization consulting firms (Eurodécision, Artelys, etc.).
They will also be able to enter less specialized companies by highlighting their ability to methodologically analyse operational problems, thus demonstrating that they are potential key elements in the improvement of the company's performance (by linking up with specialized firms or developing in-house methods).
In the longer term, students who are oriented towards the industrial world should be able, with their experience in improving company performance and good "business" knowledge, to naturally access decision-making positions at high levels of responsibility.

Programme strengths
This course is also interesting for students with a general engineering degree (e.g. central schools) and wishing to acquire a complementary skill in optimization. It also hosts students from the first year of Master's in Computer Science and Mathematics and Applications and students in the last year of Grenoble National Polytechnical Institute or Polytech'. The latter undertake this program in place of their last year.

Practica, projects, and missions
Type : MandatoryDuration : 5 to 7 months
In the first year of the Master, a study of 39 days of immersion in a laboratory (Supervised Research Work) allows all students to discover the world and the work of research.
A mandatory practicum or research project of 5 to 7 months is carried out in the second semester. It can be done in a research laboratory but also in the R&D department of a company. In this case, a teacher-training researcher ensures the quality of the research training provided. This research project allows good immersion in the world of research, the discovery of the research profession, and preliminary contacts for a possible thesis or employment in an R&D department.
