Are there countries other than UK and Ireland that offer one-year master's degrees related to coding or data science in Australia/Singapore?
Yes, besides the UK and Ireland, Singapore and Australia offer one year master's degrees in coding and data science. Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University and SUTD run 1 year programs, while Flinders University offers a dedicated 1 year Master of Data Science for related backgrounds.
If you assumed only the UK and Ireland offered fast one year master's degrees in tech, you have more options than you think. Singapore and Australia both run accelerated programs in data science, computing and artificial intelligence that you can complete in around 12 months.
One Year Masters Programs in Singapore and Australia
| University | Program |
|---|---|
| Nanyang Technological University | MSc in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Business Analytics |
| National University of Singapore | MSc in Data Science and Machine Learning |
| Singapore Management University | MSc in Computing with Data Science and Engineering track |
| Singapore University of Technology and Design | MSc in Technology and Design, including Data Science |
| Flinders University, Australia | 1 year Master of Data Science for ICT or statistics backgrounds |
Other Global Options to Consider
Beyond Singapore and Australia, select institutions in the United States and Canada offer accelerated 12 to 16 month professional master's tracks in data science or artificial intelligence, and several private business and tech schools across continental Europe also run intensive one year MSc programs in big data and business analytics.
My Advice
Check whether you already have a relevant undergraduate background in IT, computer science, engineering or statistics, since most one year and accelerated programs, including Flinders and the Singapore universities, expect this before granting you the shortened timeline.
