Masters degree advice for IT (EU based) - dafnay - 11-05-2024
Your Location: Poland
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: I have a Masters degree in Law (I did it in France where I lived +20y ears) -
I am working as a IT PM for the past 4,5 years and would like to get more IT/engineering knowledge and get a degree in that field\
Also looking for 100% online and self paced (if possible)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: Many project management certs (PMP, AgilePM, Scrum, Prince2), currently working for network+ and security+, then some Azure Cloud
Budget: My employer is based in the US and maybe might pay for it - otherwise around 10-12k euro
Commitments: I work full time
Dedicated time to study: I can commit 2, 3 hours/workday, 4/5 hours during weekends
Timeline: no more than years - 1 or 1.5 years would be perfect
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: see budget
I am kinda new to those online degrees but heard you can transfert credits ? Dont know how that works.
Also, heard that TESU is quite good and have indeed the Masters of Science in IT I might be interested in. What do you think ?
I just wonder if I am qualified for it since my current bachelor/masters is in a completely different field (Law).

Check out the Masters of IT at Metropolia in Finland

Welcome to the board... take some time to review posts/threads in the grad section.
You've got many options, here's another one, SNHU India, either their MSIT or MS Cybersecurity

Oh, if you know Spanish, SNHU South America has many more options to select from at the Masters level!
But, they only offer MS Cybersecurity, not the MSIT option.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I dont know Spanish but I know French.
What makes Metropolia better ? From what I can see it's not 100% online right ?
I was thinking about : https://www.tesu.edu/degrees-programs/masters/ms-information-technology.php
How does it compare to https://in.snhu.edu/postgraduate/technology/master-of-science-in-information-technology ?
I dont see any cost information for the SNHU Masters degree - do you have any idea how much it is ?
Do you think that would suit my needs ? Sadly a common requirement is for the Masters degree to be aligned with the Bachelors degree, which is clearly not the case for me.

TESU is around $675 per credit (around $25K for a 36-credit program), but their graduate transfer credit policy is fairly tight.
Metropolia has no tuition fees if you are an EU/EEA citizen. The online courses that they have available may be good options for transfer to other places, if they are not fully online.
Here is another possible fully online option - Purdue Global's Master in IT, similar total cost to TESU:

For all of the schools, you would need to look into their specific admission requirements and any pre-requisite courses you may not have already in your course history.
