We're celebrating this incredibly important day marked by the United Nations. We have so much going on, in, and around Durham University including the work of our teams, students and external partners. Take a look and join us in celebrating all we are doing and continue to achieve.
Inspirational Women in STEM and Tech
My favourite part of my course was becoming fluent in data analysis and coding and its applications to Physics and Earth Sciences. I came to Durham with no computer programming experience whatsoever. In four short years I have been able to become skilled enough to undertake a massive data oriented research project for my masters dissertation as well as land a data-focused internship / job in a prestigious consultancy.

The connections to industries and companies that Durham University have means that, from the onset of my degree, I’ve been given the chance to get involved with different schemes, build my skillset and talk to the experts in the field, helping me to envision an end goal, and stay motivated to ensure I get there.
