Nishant Paul

I started working as a mobile application developer in a Silicon Valley-based start-up. After working in different aspects of software development and product engineering, I realised my growing competency needs as well as the increasing popularity of mathematics-based computer science fields that aligned with my career requirements. Therefore, I decided to pursue a Masters in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Sheffield.

The programme is perfect for people like me who wants a break from their job life for a year, to increase their competent knowledge in the trending and advanced subjects of computer science.

The University of Sheffield has some of the best teachers and research in the computer science department! You definitely get to learn a lot. It is a chance to learn from the best!

A lot of factors [made me choose to study at Sheffield] to be honest. The future lies with AI, machine learning and Natural Language Processing, and I am strongly drawn to AI from the very start. I believe there is tremendous untapped potential in these areas and it offers so much learning, I also like to engage in challenging tasks and kind of get bored with the mundane, so this area is all about diversity, learning, engaging, expanding and leveraging my skillset in the best possible way! Also did I mention how much you’re in demand and the diversity of jobs in which data analysts can engage in!

Hend ElGhazaly

Hend studied her undergraduate degree (BSc Information Technology Management for Business) in the Department of Computer Science and enjoyed it so much she stayed on to do the MSc Advanced Computer Science. Since graduating she has been working as a lab instructor at the American University of Sharjah.

During my degree I developed various transferrable skills such as research methods, communication, problem solving, working under pressure, adapting to change, and time management. These skills definitely shaped my personality, and performance at work. After my Masters, I had established an incredible list of skills, and sufficient knowledge in the field to gain confidence in my abilities. Having developed independent learning, I always try to learn and integrate new aspects of computer science so that my students remain advanced in the field.

The faculty members are approachable and challenged us with the creative assignments and projects to solve real-world problems. I learned a lot from them in lectures and even more when I worked closely with them. They’re inspiring and supportive. It is not only the computer science knowledge that I learned from them but also the transferrable skills I mentioned earlier.

Additionally, the modules were varied and having the option to choose them gave me the opportunity to learn about many fields in Computer Science. The hands-on experience I got from working with epiGenesys and real clients as part of modules was very enjoyable and definitely enhanced my learning.

The facilities offered such as the labs and study spaces are also amazing. The Mac lab, the VR lab, the Diamond building which is opened 24/7, all are extremely useful.
