The Master MODO spreads over 2 semesters, each of which allows the students to acquire 30 ECTS. The first semester consists in courses, while the second semester consists in research working groups.

Each course lasts 15h and is worth 3 ECTS. During the first semester, the students must follow 10 courses as follows:

• 4 mandatory courses for the whole Master,

• 2 mandatory courses within the chosen stream,

• 2 optional courses among the courses of the stream,

• 2 other optional courses among all the courses of the Master.

During the second semester, students must choose one main research workshop among the 2 of the chosen stream (20 ECTS) (the internship and the master thesis will be done in this workshop). The students also choose 2 other research workshop from the list of all research workshops of the Master (2x5 ECTS). There are in total 6 research workshops: 2 in each of the 3 streams.

The three streams are the following:

• Decision
• Combinatorial optimisation
• Organisation

• Graphs and applications
• Mathematical Programming
• Preference modelling and multiple criteria decision making
• Modelling in Decision Aiding  – Operational Research

• Decision under uncertainty and decision models (Mandatory)
• Multiobjective optimization (Mandatory)
• Robustness in Operational Research and Decision Aiding
• Algorithmic Decision Theory and Computational Social Choice
• Problem Structuring Methods
• Theory and practice of production scheduling

• Complexity Theory (Mandatory)

• Structural and algorithmic graph theory (Mandatory)

• Approximation algorithms

• Algorithmic games

• Stochastic programming

• Machine learning for optimization

• Algorithms for continuous optimization

• Exact algorithms for NP-complete and hard problems

   

• Organization Theory (Ecole des Mines - AgroParisTech) (Obligatoire)
• OR environnement and health systems (AgroParisTech) (Obligatoire)
• Théorie de la conception - Processus génératifs (Ecole des Mines)

Choose two other courses among all the courses of the Master.

• Decision aiding: procedures, models and approaches
• Artificial Intelligence and Decision

• Algorithmics with performance guarantee

• Mathematical Programming

• Modèles de gestion et dynamique des organisations (Mines)

• Systèmes d’information et Management des connaissances
