Yes, students with a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) background are eligible to pursue a master's in Data Science or Data Analytics abroad.

Many universities prefer STEM degrees, but BCom graduates are accepted if you have a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics. Completing online courses or certifications in programming (such as Python or R) and data analysis tools can improve your profile. Practical experience through internships or projects is also helpful.

Admission requirements differ by university, so your counsellor can guide you on specific eligibility and next steps.
