Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Entry is course-specific.
  • The MSc Computer Science conversion route normally asks for a UK upper-second-class degree or equivalent in a non-computing subject; computing and related degrees are not suitable for that conversion route.
  • BSc applicants must meet the published school qualification and subject requirements; overseas equivalencies must be checked separately.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Bristol assigns English-language profiles by course.
  • MSc Computer Science (Conversion) uses profile E.
  • Check the linked profile and approved evidence for the intended entry year rather than using one IELTS score across the university.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The checked MSc Computer Science (Conversion) and MSc Data Science pages advertise September 2027 starts.
  • Undergraduate dates and research starts follow their own course calendars.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • For September 2027, the checked MSc Computer Science (Conversion) and MSc Data Science pages list 12 August 2027 for overseas applicants.
  • Both may close earlier when places fill; this is not a deadline for every Bristol degree.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • For September 2027 entry, MSc Computer Science (Conversion) lists overseas tuition of GBP 37,300 for the one-year full-time programme.
  • BSc Computer Science lists GBP 34,700 for the first year of 2027 entry, with annual review.
  • Living costs and other charges are additional.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Think Big provides competitive support for eligible international undergraduate and postgraduate applicants.
  • Check the precise award, exclusions and entry-year terms; a university admission offer does not automatically confer an award, and an earlier cycle's scholarship conditions should not be assumed for 2027.
