Yes, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) with a computer science specialization is generally considered relevant for study abroad applications to master's programs in computer science or related fields.

Most universities assess whether your undergraduate coursework and specialization align with the master's program you are applying to. Your computer science focus strengthens your profile for programs in computer science, information technology, or similar areas.

Some universities may require a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) for certain programs, so always check the specific admission requirements for your target universities and courses. If needed, be prepared to provide details about your computer science coursework.
