Yes, you can pursue a Master's in Computer Science or Data Science with a finance background.

Many universities in Italy accept applicants from diverse academic fields, including finance, especially for Data Science programs. However, you may need to show strong skills in quantitative areas like mathematics, statistics, or programming. Some programs might require you to complete prerequisite or preparatory courses if you lack a technical background.

Your finance expertise can be a valuable asset, especially for data science roles focused on financial analysis. For specific eligibility and prerequisites, discuss your profile with your LeapScholar counsellor.
