Any Postgraduate Applicants/Admitted candidates to the University of Leeds for 2020-21 particularly for MSc Data Science and Analytics?

Hey there, Congratulations!. I have got an admit for the same course (Jan intake), but haven't decided yet as I am waiting for their response on my MSc Adv computer science (Data Analytics) application.

BTW are you an international applicant?

Yep, I have admits from the University of Sheffield, Cardiff University, the University of Strathclyde, awaiting from QMUL.
Rejects from below:
University of Bath
University of Leeds
University of Glasgow
University of Manchester
My disadvantage was that I am not from a CS background.

Same, I'll be completing 6 years exp as a software developer in another month. How many admits other than from Leeds have you secured?

I have admits from Royal Holloway , City University and University of Surrey as well. Since I am planning for Jan intake royal Holloway and Leeds would be by top choices.

Shouldn't Leeds be a straightforward choice?

Yeah, But when I went through the course modules , since data science and Analytics is offered by school of mathematics it's mandatory to take some mathematics modules. In case of royal Holloway there is no such restriction and they also provide a variety of modules from which we can choose. That's y the confusion.
