How UK fees and deadlines differ

For the programmes in this first release, published international tuition ranges from £36,600 to £46,000 for 2026/27. "One-year master’s" still hides important differences: conversion courses target non-computing graduates, while advanced programmes expect deep prior computer science.

Deadline logic varies by visa status, staged selection and capacity. UCL publishes separate visa and non-visa dates; Manchester uses stages; Imperial says many courses remain open until full. A single country-level deadline is therefore misleading.

Choose by academic fit, not only by title

  • Conversion: designed for graduates without a computing degree.
  • Advanced computer science: expects substantial prior computing and programming.
  • Data science: may require a detailed match across mathematics, statistics and computing modules.
  • English proof: exact tests, scores and exemptions belong to the university, not a country-wide rule.
