University of Bath (relevant courses).

Bath is a little expensive on my budget. I am okay with uni's ranging from 21,000 to 25,000 pounds.

If cost is the key criterion (in addition to it being non-Russell Group, for reasons which are not clear), then how about Data Science (PGCert, PGDip, MSc) at University of St Andrews?

It's an online course, and it'll take you three years to get the Master's. However, the fees are just £18,000 (£6,000 per year).

Why is it that you're excluding universities which are members of the Russell Group?

Hi @sr90sr10

We offer a flexible online degree for MSc Data Science. You can do it full-time or part-time and being online it can often be the more affordable option. If you pay in full at the start of your course you'll even get 5% off, you can also pay in monthly instalments.

An added bonus is that you can start one of our degrees at any point in the year, so you don't have to wait for official start dates. You can find out more about our MSc Data Science course on our website.
