Will I need to do a course before pursuing data analytics abroad since I don't have a computer science background for a Master's/Bachelor's?
24 Aug 2026 · Answered by Neelam B · 1 min read
It depends. Many Master's in Data Analytics programs abroad expect applicants to have a background in mathematics, statistics, or programming - not always a computer science degree, but relevant foundational skills.
- Some universities require a Bachelor's in a related field or proof of analytical and programming skills.
- Others may accept applicants from different backgrounds if they complete prerequisite or preparatory courses.
If your qualifications don't match the typical requirements, you may need to take a preparatory course to build the necessary skills before applying.
