Overview Many areas of research and commerce are becoming increasingly dependent on the use of data and computational resources that are distributed over the internet. This programme aims to provide students with an understanding of the techniques used to provide these distributed computational capabilities and to prepare them for a career applying them in either academia or the commercial IT sector. Edinburgh is one the major centres of research into the application of distributed computing technologies to support science. This domain is often called e-Science, and Edinburgh is the home of the UK National e-Science Centre (NeSC), run in collaboration with the University of Glasgow. The University of Edinburgh has built upon that the expertise to develop a unique MSc programme in Distributed Scientific Computing, which may be taken full-time in one year or part-time in two or three years. The core courses in the MSc are taught by staff from NeSC, the School of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Informatics who are at the forefront of research and training in the field, while students can choose from a wide range of options, to create a syllabus tailored to their individual interests and career goals. The programme comprises lectures, practical exercises, tutorials and individual study, and will be assessed by a combination of exams and coursework, with the coursework including individual and group assignments Careers Prospects The MSc prepares students from a range of backgrounds for a number of different careers: 1.Science graduates will develop expertise which will help them succeed in doctoral research in a field related to their first degree or in the development of e-Science technologies or techniques or, equally, they may embark on a career developing software to support scientific research, in either academia or the commercial sector. 2.Computer science graduates can undertake doctoral research in a range of areas within computer science and e-Science or can move into software development, either in support of scientific research or within those parts of the commercial IT sector that use distributed computing technologies. 3.Those coming from a commercial IT job will develop expertise in distributed computing which may open up new opportunities for them within the commercial IT sector or see them move into scientific software development. Students from the first few MSc classes have followed almost all these paths. Entry Requirements Applications are encouraged from graduates of all areas of science, engineering and computer science, and from those currently working in a relevant field. Entrance requirements are a good honours degree or equivalent work experience, and proven competence in computer programming. Further information Further information about the programme can be found online at www.nesc.ac.uk/msc.
