Is it possible to continue my studies in data science for master's without switching to a new stream or course for a Bachelor's?

Yes, you can continue with a Master's in Data Science without switching streams, since your background is already in Data Science and Analytics.

Most Irish universities accept students with a related undergraduate degree like yours. Typical requirements include:

- Strong academic record - usually a minimum of Second Class Honours (2:1) in your bachelor's.
- Mathematics foundation - coursework in areas such as Applied Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Probability, and Calculus is often expected.
- English proficiency - usually proven by IELTS or TOEFL; requirements vary by university and are subject to change.

If you need help identifying suitable programs or preparing your application, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
