Is it necessary to have a BSc degree to pursue a master's in machine learning or cyber security?
No, a BSc degree is not strictly required for a master's in machine learning or cybersecurity. Most universities prefer applicants with backgrounds in computer science, engineering, or related fields, but they often accept candidates from other disciplines if you have the necessary skills and meet specific prerequisites.
You may need to complete certain undergraduate-level courses (such as calculus, discrete math, or data structures) before or during your master's program, depending on the university's requirements.
If you're unsure about your eligibility or how to meet prerequisites, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance.
