Middlesex University - BSc in Information Systems ($8,000, 1 year) - nomaduser - 12-17-2020

Hello guys,

Middlesex University has an online Bachelor of Science in Information Systems program for 6k GBP ($8,132 USD):
https://www.mdx.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/information-systems-top-up

This program requires 240 UK college credits to get in. That's two years worth of credits and I'm guessing 60 RA credits will suffice the requirement.

"Qualifications


We accept the equivalent of the below qualifications from a recognised overseas qualification:
  • 240 Undergraduate credits in an appropriate subject (two years of full-time study, 60 US credits)
In addition to qualifications such as A level and International Baccalaureate, we accept a wide range of international qualifications."


So if you have 60 US credits in computer science or IT, this program can potentially work out for you.
The program is only 1 year long. Upon completion, you'll get a real degree from Middlesex University.

This program can be another pathway for people who are in Coursera's BSc in Computer Science program.
Coursera's BSc in Computer Science program will give you a degree from University of London, not Goldsmiths.
University of London isn't really a ranked school. It's only a federation of UoL institutions.

Once you finish the Coursera program's first two years, they will give you Diploma in Computer Science as an interim award. You can use that diploma to apply to Middlesex University's Information Systems program to get the real Middlesex University degree.
