    Second year choices
    Hi everyone,

    Tomorrow is the deadline for choosing the streams and I'm struggling a bit. I've read module outlines + done additional research, so I'm thinking of choosing Operations Management as my second stream. However, I have a few questions which I hope some of you will be able to answer:

    How difficult is it? I know it may be easy for some and difficult for others, but.. do you know what's the average grade people obtain from the OM modules?

    For people who have been on placement: How difficult is it to find a placement in this area?

    How did you find the modules overall? Would you recommend choosing this stream or not?

    Thanks!

    Yep, you do it in the first week of term. I changed one of my stream choices from the HR to management science one.
