Transition from an ICE diploma to masters

I am looking to do a master's in computer science in Cambridge. Due to personal circumstances while I was accepted in the top university in my country I didn't finish it.

Now at 26 I am looking to see if there is a way to do a master's degree without having to go through an undergrad since I have more than enough practical experiece through jobs.

I looked at the ICE programs and I wasn't sure if I can go through that route.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I'm currently studying one of the History of Art Undergrad Certificate through ICE. I think the answer to the question is 'if depends'... (sorry!)

In my case for example, I don't have an undergraduate degree but want to progress to the MSt History of Art offered by ICE (and not the HoA department). It's theoretically possible with 360 credits accumulated on this pathway through ICE to be able to apply (the wording for the MSt talks about undergrad degree or equivalent). That's a specific pathway offered by ICE, and obviously only if you perform well enough on the courses leading up to the Advanced Diploma.

I'd be less confident if I was applying to one of the Cambridge departments direct.
