Online MSc Data Science

Im looking into various online Masters in Data Science.
My main options are:
CS with Data Analytics at York University
DS with Essex University
DS with University of London
DS with University of Bristol
Do you have any recommendations for one over the other? Which are better for someone with little experience in the sector? Which course has more hands on content with as little reading as possible?
Good morning,

It's great to hear that you are interested in studying a Master's in Data Science and have created a shortlist. In case you didn't come across the University of Huddersfield during your research, I just wanted to let you know that we also offer a Master's in this subject, which is accredited by the British Computer Society. This a conversion course, open to applicants with little or no experience. We have start dates in February, May and September 2024.

If you'd like to know more, please take a look at our website: https://hud.ac.uk/inspire/masters-computer-science-distance-learning/

Good luck with your shortlisting.

Best wishes,

Thank you for your reply. Can your online course be taken in a year (full-time)?
