According to a study by the Royal Society, demand for workers with specialist data skills like data scientists and data engineers has more than tripled over five years (+231%). As a result, there is a large and growing skills gap in this field, presenting ambitious individuals with opportunities for career success in well-paid job roles.
The 100% Online MSc Computer Science with Big Data Analytics is designed to provide a new way for busy working professionals to gain in-demand skills and a qualification in this sought-after field. It is completely flexible and can be studied anytime, anywhere and on a wide range of devices.
The Masters degree is designed both for ambitious individuals who are not from Computer Science or Data Analytics backgrounds and want to equip themselves for a new career in this area, as well as for individuals who currently work in the sector and are looking to accelerate their career with a high quality qualification.
You should have or be about to complete an undergraduate degree in any subject with a minimum grade of 2:2 (or equivalent qualification). We will also accept Masters degrees or equivalent.
