Online MSc - University of Bath or York

Hi,

I've made a decision to enroll myselves into an Online MSc in Computer Science programme, and these two stand out with their offers (at least in Europe). I've done lots of effort to get the most informations on both, and what I've concluded thus far is that the York University may be a bit more prestigious, while the CS department at the uni of Bath is a bit superior. Personally, both curricculums seem great and I have no preferences regarding those. I'm fairly certain that I can't make a mistake whatever I choose, but would like to hear an opinion if someone is willing to share? Thank you

I am also trying to make the same decision at the moment, having had offers from both.

Based on limited info, my observation was that the Bath modules sounded a lot better, covering things like functional programming which is sought-after in the industry I work in at the moment. I also noticed that individual modules at Bath are smaller in credit value than at York, and obviously the Bath programme is longer (albeit much more expensive), so i'd hope that this would make it less intense, and so more manageable around work.

I am leaning towards Bath at the moment for those reasons. However, it's hard to find any reviews or threads on the Bath course online, so these are all just assumptions.

Thanks for the opinion.

I'm kinda leaning towards York atm because one of the main reasons for me is to add another line to cv (I do understand its kinda cheesy of me, but I have some work experience and much of the knowledge I could acquire from programme like this I already have).

In that regard, York seems a better option given the fact its cheaper, shorter and the start date is sooner, as simple as that.

I would say that surely one cannot make a bad choice from those two honestly

If you are a beginner do not enrol in York. There are no lectures, the tutor you get has 55+ other students and I personally felt unsupported and overwhelmed. I can't speak to Bath but imho it'd be hard to be worse. I get that you need to do more work yourself on a masters but not 100% of it!! This is just my personal opinion.
