Master of Engineering (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering

at Newcastle University United Kingdom

Data Visualisation is an increasingly important part of data science. It aims to bridge the gap between the human and data. It supports human perception and cognition to make sense of data analytics outputs.

We created the PGDip, PGCert, MSc Data Science with Specialisation in Visualisation in collaboration with a number of high profile industry leaders. It aims to address the skills shortage in data analytics.

Our master's in data science brings together students and industry practitioners to develop and translate new technologies into industry practice.

You'll receive a comprehensive grounding in the theory and application of data science. You'll also gain the ability to apply these skills to real problems in a given application area.

Through project work, you'll experience the full lifecycle from design of interactive visualization to experimental evaluation of an advanced visualization approach.

Topics covered in the course include:

• Cloud computing
• Bayesian statistics
• Machine learning

You'll benefit from our substantial expertise in data science. We focus on a wide range of application areas, including:

• Healthcare
• Transport
• Cybersecurity
• Smart cities
• Manufacturing

Our Biomedical Genetics MSci Honours degree focuses on developing your scientific and experimental skills and equips you with the advanced knowledge you'll need to ensure you graduate fully prepared for your rewarding career in science.

We are a National Centre of Excellence in biomedical research and you will be taught by our world-leading and expert staff, so you will graduate with a cutting-edge knowledge of the industry.

You'll follow the same modules as students on our Biomedical Genetics BSc course, but in your additional fourth year, you'll undertake an extended laboratory-based research project and study modules offered by our research institutes. This allows you to work alongside world-leading experts in our specialist facilities.

Our master's inInternational Development and Education with Cross Cultural Communication uses a multidisciplinary approach to international development. It considers contemporary global change through various perspectives, including:

• Social
• Political
• Historical
• Environmental
• Economic

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) run through the modules. This provides a contemporary stance on where the world stands today at building a better world for people and our planet by 2030. You'll gain an understanding of and explore current debates around how education contributes to the development process.

Learning through case studies will cultivate your ability to think critically about development issues. You'll explore data using secondary sources. You'll also carry out your own research study through our unique placement module. This extends your learning into the field of development and education. This hands-on experience is an opportunity to co-create and co-develop impactful change.

This three-year Contemporary and Popular Music degree focuses on a range of musics and approaches, from acoustic singer-songwriting to experimental electronic forms, and from ethnomusicology to cultural theory. You'll grow as an accomplished musician while developing your creativity and critical thinking.

While you may choose to specialise in contemporary and popular music, the beauty of music at Newcastle University is that we offer a broad musical education so you can also take modules from world, classical, and folk and traditional music. You’ll study a range of historical, theoretical and cultural topics such as: analysing music; music history; Indian music; DJing and turntablism; composition; and music, politics and policy.

You'll receive one-on-one tuition and group lessons from our performance tutors, who are experts in their craft.

Our course provides specialist skills and knowledge about the most important issues related to the sustainability of agricultural production and food security.

This master's in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security is suitable if you have an interest in sustainable agriculture and food security and want to develop a broad knowledge of the subject.

Sustainable agriculture and food security focuses on the availability of food now and in the future. This is a major concern of scientific and commercial communities world-wide.

The prominence of this subject is driven by:

• An increasing global population
• Pressure on non-renewable or scarce resources
• A need to increase food production whilst minimising the impact on the environment

The Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security master's covers all aspects of food security as outlined by Global Food Security. The Global Food Security is a multi-agency programme involving the main UK public sector funders of research and training related to food.

Industry experienced and research-active lecturers teach on this course.

You study a broad curriculum in your first two years, developing knowledge in different aspects of computing science, and gaining skills in problem solving, program design and implementation.

In your third year, you move onto specialist topics in software engineering, developing skills and knowledge for your future career.

Your modules focus on the design and development of embedded software systems, and include:

• Software verification systems
• Real-time and cyber-physical systems
