University of Stirling

Selected programme options include MSc Big Data — on-campus conversion route. These are selected examples, not the full catalogue. Availability, campus, mode of study and teaching language must be checked for your intake.

A second-class honours degree or equivalent. Relevant substantial work experience may also be considered. This route is designed for non-computing graduates; computing graduates are directed towards Advanced Computing and AI instead. IELTS Academic/UKVI 6.0 overall and 5.5 in every skill, or an accepted equivalent such as PTE Academic 60 overall with 59 in each skill.

The on-campus MSc Big Data code TXX44-BIG lists international full-time tuition of £24,300 for both 2026/27 and 2027/28, charged on an annual-course-fee basis. The online TXO44-BIG tariff is different. For the twenty-one-month January route, obtain the offer-specific total rather than assuming the twelve-month September budget covers the longer stay. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.

Stirling accepts postgraduate applications throughout the year, normally up to a year before starting. The inspected Big Data page did not publish a fixed closing date for the listed future intakes. Apply early and confirm capacity, scholarship and visa-processing cut-offs for your chosen start. January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028 are listed. September full-time study lasts twelve months; January full-time study lasts twenty-one months. A semester start date is not an application closing date. Check scholarship and visa timelines separately.
