University College London

How to evaluate this university

UCL's indexed graduate options are different admissions routes, not variants of the same computing degree. Computer Science MSc is a conversion course for applicants without a CS or IT degree; Software Systems Engineering expects prior computing or software engineering, while Data Science expects quantitative study including statistics and programming. An applicant should compare those entry foundations before choosing by title. The indexed law, psychology and population-health routes serve still different academic aims.

Interpreting the published cost

The indexed courses carry programme-specific overseas fees, including several 2027/28 figures and some clearly labelled earlier references. Compare the fee year and annual basis on each course page; there is no single UCL-wide price in this guide.

Before applying

Open the named graduate course page for its entry profile, English level and application window. The conversion MSc's mathematical preparation and the Data Science MSc's linear algebra, probability, statistics and programming requirements are a practical first split. UCL's programme page also flags any overseas fee deposit and additional course costs; a graduate course directory alone cannot settle the price or admission route.
