City University of London Online Computer Science with CyberSecurity

Hi friends,
recently applied and got accepted the online msc in CS and Cyber at City. However, I am a bit perplexed whether or not to accept the offer because well... I know these online masters are a bit weird, and especially the one of York has been subject of horrendous reviews by its students.
Does any of you know anything about the program? I work in cybersecurity, and I some friends of mine reccomended the program to me rather than that of York or Hertfordshire.
What ya' folks think??

I am also curious about this program. However, what made me wonder is the entry requirements mention "in a subject area other than Computer Science (or similar)".

If you don't have an undergrad in something computing related, it might be a good option. However, since you work in the field, it would be good to take a deeper look at what is taught in the modules to make sure you do not get bored with the content? It might be a good course to fill in some Computer science knowledge, looking at the content.

Hey, actually the program is good as far as I am seeing in the modules. I mean, there is a fair share of programming, I know a bit but not too much, and database, AI and web technologies(useful for me cause I do pentesting). I am actually enrolling today! Guess gonna try and see if it works for me.

It is a Computer Science degree with cybersecurity though, not a master in cybersecurity only.
