Is the Centre for European Master's Programme (accredited by UCAM) any good?

Hi Student Room,

I've recevied a scholarship to study a Master's in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics at the CEMP and UCAM- I only found out about the program from facebook! I've got a week before I need to accept. Is the CEMP/UCAM (Catholic University of Murcia) any good?

I'm a British citizen and know so little about Spanish universities and institutions. It claims to be 100% online, in english and provides an internship with an employer. Also with the scholarship it cost £3500. Sounds too good to be true! But UCAM has very low world rankings- is that important these days?

Can anyone advise me? Has anyone studied there? What have you gone on to do with the master's? I want to make a career change to become a data scientist/analyst/engineer and it'd be great to do this in a company with a biotech focus. I've been working in pharma for nearly 5 years and love biotech but am tired of being in the lab. I love learning to code and love data and would much rather be at a computer than running around a lab running assays which can easily fail.

Thank you!

Did you find any information regarding the course? I'm in the same position and I'm unsure whether to accept. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information around regarding the course
