Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) | 7500$ MSc Computer Science - akr680 - 08-18-2021
Hi All,
For 7500$, this course seems to be the real deal. WES recognized.

I can't speak to the CS program, but I have a friend who attended LJMU for a butts-in-seats program and found the school to be excellent. Academically challenging but fair. He felt that he gained a great education there.

Not only MSc. You also received PGDip from an Indian university.
Tips from me: ask for a discount, you can get a $500 discount if you are lucky.

$7250, a good deal for a legit master and dual alumni status. Lucky me enrolled when the price was still $6500

Yup, they bumped up their pricing as they are getting a lot of enquiries. I guess the DI/DF boards are giving them some traction, I wrote about them last year when they were at a grand cheaper. I would think hard about their program, one reason I didn't go with them is, they can pretty much get you into the Indian University, but it's the LJMU portion is going to be up in the air 50/50. I think they work similar to the "top up" option where you do half at an external training center and the other half at the University.
I wrote about their DBA partnership too: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Upgrad-SSBM-Geneva-Global-DBA-36-months-11K-USD

Yes, it is similar to the external training center and top-up with the LJMU.
I already received my PGDip from IIITB, but actually, it is better than the Level 6/7 Diploma. Also, I am sure I learn a lot in the IIITB than level 6/7 Diploma.
I took ML/AI and I already built something with it, get a job with it, invited as guest lectures from it. Literally the best investment of mine.
During the class, I taught theory, industrial cases, and hands-on, including building real-world machine learning applications.

@asianphd - That's awesome, I am a bit careful, cautious and sometimes that causes me to overlook things. I'm glad it's working out for you. I am still on the fence with them though.
@akr680 - I suggest you to apply to Upgrad with your current credentials and finish off the PGDip from IIITB. This should boost your educational and AI/ML skills set, you should be able to land the program at LMJU without a hitch. I would follow what asianphd is doing, the PGDip and ladder that to the LJMU Masters.

Thank you for the advice.
I work as an ERP consultant currently and I am going with the Cloud computing track.
