As a graduate of Durham University’s MISCADA program, I am truly grateful for the solid foundation it laid for my career. Deeply integrating AI theory with engineering practice, the program not only enabled me to systematically master core knowledge such as machine learning algorithms but also honed my practical ability to apply AI technologies to real-world scenarios through flexible project options. Currently, I have joined an intelligent technology enterprise in Shanghai, and still benefit greatly from what I learned during the program in my daily work. Its practical, cutting-edge curriculum perfectly aligns with industry needs. If you aspire to delve into the interdisciplinary field of AI and engineering and quickly adapt to industry roles after graduation, the MISCADA program is undoubtedly an excellent choice. It builds a bridge between theory and practice, empowering you to make steady progress in the AI industry.

“作为一个曾经利用过ai解决实际工程问题的毕业生 我深刻感受到了现在ai给工程带来的的实用性与前沿性 在这个stream里面 你可以了解到ai的本质并合理地运用它 在系统性地学习了这方面的知识后 我运用这些知识并成功在上海交通银行金融科技有限公司担任数据分析师 总而言之 杜伦大学这个专业的实用性和前沿性绝对能适应时代的潮流”
“As a graduate who has used AI to solve practical engineering problems, I deeply felt the practicality and cutting-edge brought by AI to engineering. In this stream, you can understand the essence of AI and use it reasonably. After systematically learning this knowledge, I applied it and successfully worked as a data analyst in Shanghai Bank of Communications Financial Technology Co., Ltd. Generally speaking, this practicality and cutting-edge can definitely adapt to the trend of the times.”

The main goal of the prize is to support excellent students in the field of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and to foster international exchange at an early career level. Master’s students as well as Ph.D. candidates are eligible for the prize and have to submit a short paper of 4 pages. Out of these submissions, a BGCE board selects the finalists who present their work in two special BGCE Student Paper Prize minisymposia of the SIAM CS&E conference.

My time at Durham University’s MISCADA program helped me become a well-rounded data scientist, building up my expertise in computer hardware, machine learning, performance optimization, and statistics. By diving into high-performance computing, data science, and programming, I learned how to harness structured and unstructured data to create and deploy high-accuracy, real-time machine learning models. This experience shaped my ability to deliver research-backed solutions that address industry-specific challenges, and it’s served me incredibly well in my professional career as a data scientist ever since.

Video Testimonial by 2023/24 MiSCADA student
The MISACADA course has been transformative for my career, bridging my background in electronics and embedded software engineering with advanced scientific computing and algorithm development. This integrated skill set enabled me to successfully implement real-time algorithms for animal welfare monitoring in my previous role, resulting in improvement health and monitoring for chickens and bees. Now, these capabilities will be instrumental in developing sophisticated wind measurement systems.

“I really appreciated the flexibility of the degree. It enabled me to study my particular interests (scientific computing) in a greater depth than would otherwise have been possible. As a previous physics undergraduate I also enjoyed the opportunity to learn some more advanced particle physics.
The final project has been particularly useful. I’ve been able to really drill down into a particular topic and it’s given me a great opportunity to work with academics on a project with real value.
The skills I’ve learnt this year will be very helpful for my upcoming PhD in scientific computing.”

Ich habe den Miscada Kurs mit der Spezialisierung Astrophysic 2019/2020 besucht. Die ersten beiden Terms (Trimester) bestanden aus jeweils zwei 4 Wochenblöcken, gefolgt von einem 1 Wochen Block mit den Professional Skills. Die 4-Wochenblöcke beinhalten regelmäßige “formative” (nicht zur Endnote zählende) Assignments zum erproben des Gelernten, gefolgt von einer “summative” Abgabe die in die Endnote eingeht. Dieses Modell empfand ich als sehr vorteilhaft, da man gegenüber dem konventionellen Prüfungsbasierten Studium regelmäßig das Gelernte anwedet, dadurch besser versteht und weniger schnell vergisst. Zusätzlich, konträr zu einem Prüfungsbasierten Studium, hat man regelmäßig das Gefühl etwas erreicht zu haben und ist dadurch motivierter etwas zu lernen. Im Miscada Kurs war es für mich möglich viel Wissen aufzunehmen und ich fühle mich vorbereitet dieses in realen Szenarien anzuwenden. Einstellbarkeit ist nach dem Kurs definitiv gegeben. Die vielen Linkedin-Anfragen die ich und auch andere Kursmitglieder bereits erhalten haben zeigen definitiv ein starkes Interesse an dem was in dem Kurs gelehrt wird.

“I was reading the document and it looks quite exciting to me! […] I definitely would have choosen this after my undergraduate studies as preparation for a PhD.”
2019/20 MScR student
” I find the structure of the MSc quite interesting, especially for people that haven’t settled whether they are going to follow an academic or industrial career after their BSc and still want to keep their options open.”

“I’d have taken the course for the good balance between content and coursework. Access to a local supercomputer is a bonus too I guess.”
2019/20 MScR student
“The course looks like it would have been something that would have been useful, particularly in a longer term career development sense with the computing experience, industry collaboration opportunities and even just for helping with
highlighting career opportunities. And for me, this is what the Core modules, professional skills and project would be particularly useful for.”
