The very attractive thing about this option is that I don't even necessarily have to pay it in full all once. According to the program details, it says the courses can be completed first as part of Coursera's subscription and then "upgraded" later once needed as actual credit, which provides me a lot of flexibility in funding the degree out of pocket. 

It's also from a reputable American school and it takes less time to complete (2 years) than a BSc from University of London which takes 3 years to complete. I suppose I wouldn't have issues applying to companies which require a degree? I'm not sure how HR for one of those types of companies would handle a candidate without a Bachelor's but with a Masters? Either way it seems like the best option so far, and it looks like the deadline to start next session is Sept 30.

I also just checked Wrexham Glyndwr, so thank you for that! It seems to have questionable reviews however. Have you come across any in this forum with positive experiences?

But yes, I think I'm leaning towards Coursera's Boulder program so far.



I think you'll be fine given that you get high GPA from MS in DS program and you pass the coding test and interview for job positions.


You can explain later that you jumped to MS without doing BS.  Obviously, you'll need to prove your high coding skills.

I don't have any experience with Wrexham Glyndwr ....
Thanks so much! I will be signing up for the Coursera Boulder program
