Uk MSc Cybersecurity with Level 7 Diploma
#1
I want to pursue an (online) MSc in Cybersecurity.

My current plan:

1) Qualifi "Level 7 Diploma in Cyber Security" - 120 Credits, e.g. offered through LSIB

2) After this of course I would need an (online) top-up MSc. Both thesis and non-thesis options would be fine with me.


Until now: I found the Open University in the UK that should accept the Level 7 Diploma. Any other ideas?

The OU will accept it toward some modules but they don't offer a top-up, so you'd be a transfer student. This matters because the max transfer for MSc Cybersecurity is only 60 credits (out of 180) - they also don't promise to award that much, just state that it is the max limit. So you'd still have to do most of the degree at the OU.

Thanks for the info. That would still match since I already have 60 Credits at OU in Cyber. 
I guess 120 Credit Diploma for 60 Credits at OU is a reasonable expectation. 
Saw an example of another Diploma where they accepted it for 65 Credits. 
Could be more for this Diploma since the overlap looks reasonable.
Unique study requirement is 60 Credits so also this should work out. 
However, I would prefer another University since I already have an OU degree.
 
That's why looking here for ideas!
