Study Details: Full-time: 14 months Part-time: 24 months
Shape the future of a data-driven world as a data scientist, data analyst, or business intelligence professional. This Master of Science in Computer Science with Data Science will help you develop advanced analytical techniques and interpret complex datasets that inform better business decisions.
You’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of how big data is captured and structured – and how to turn it into insights that deliver value. You’ll work with cloud computing tools, machine learning algorithms, data analytics techniques, and data visualisation tools, while strengthening your problem-solving skills and leadership abilities. You'll complete a final research project to investigate your own area of interest, from big data analytics and data mining algorithms to the knowledge discovery process.
Delivered 100% online, guided by expert lecturers and supported by a dedicated Student Success Coordinator, this Master's of Computer Science with Data Science is designed for graduates from non-computing backgrounds who want to gain essential computing expertise alongside advanced data science skills.
This is a conversion master’s degree – designed for people who didn’t study computing at undergraduate level. To apply, you’ll need to meet the following entry requirements:
A UK honours degree at 2:2 or above (or equivalent international qualification) in a subject other than computing.
If you hold a non-honours degree and 2 years’ professional experience in one or more computing-related roles, you’re still encouraged to apply. We’ll review your academic and professional background on a case-by-case basis. In exceptional cases, applicants without a first degree but with more than two years’ relevant professional experience in computing-related roles may be considered.

The UK tech sector is valued at $1.2 trillion (Tech Nation Report 2025) and growing faster than anywhere else in Europe. Within the tech sector, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 lists Big Data and AI among the fastest-growing skills, creating strong demand for experts who can turn complex datasets into actionable insights.
Our 100% online MSc Computer Science with Data Science prepares you to meet this demand head-on. You’ll graduate with data analytics, machine learning, and data visualisation expertise, backed by strong research skills and the ability to design, secure, and optimise computer systems. Whatever your path – from data scientist to business intelligence leader – you’ll have the essential skills and deep understanding to excel in a competitive, data-driven economy.
On this online Computer Science (Data Science) programme, you’ll study a series of carefully designed modules. With flexible monthly starts, you’ll join the next available module and study alongside a cohort of computer science master's students learning the same subject at the same time.
