Advance in many fields in science and engineering will be driven by those skilled in handling large parallel machines and data sets with extreme volume or velocity. The Durham MSc in Scientific Computing and Data Analysis (MISCADA) trains students in these areas, equips them with essential professional, entrepreneurial and collaborative skills, and gives them the opportunity to apply all acquired knowledge to challenging, state-of-the-art problems from a computational specialisation area.
One of its major selling point is that it brings together a specialisation area with the latest data analysis and simulation technologies. Our student cohort brings along expertise and interest in both the selected application (specialisation) area plus the computer and mathematical sciences used therein.
Subject requirements, level and grade
A UK first or upper second class honours degree (BSc) or equivalent
In Physics or a subject with basic physics courses OR
In Computer Science OR
In Mathematics OR
In any natural sciences with a strong quantitative element.
We strongly encourage students to sign up for a specialisation area they already have some background of affinity. At the moment, the course targets primarily Physics students. If you do not have a Physics degree, we strongly recommend you to contact the University beforehand to clarify whether you bring along the right background.
Programming knowledge on an L3 level in at least one programming language and commitment to learning C and Python independently if not known before.
Interest in Computational Physics or its Data Analysis. The course tackles computational and data analysis challenges from this area.
Additional requirements
The course page provides self-assessment tests and tutorial links to assess your programming skills. We expect applicants to confirm themselves that they are aware of the required programming skills and provide evidence (course transcripts, links to programming projects or brief description of conducted projects).
English Langauge requirements
Band E (IELTS of 6.5 with no element below 6.0)
