Leeds offers distinct on-campus data-science routes rather than one interchangeable computing degree. Data Science and Analytics is intended for quantitatively prepared graduates; the separate Data Science MSc is a conversion option. Compare the course title carefully before checking admission, because finance/accounting backgrounds are not normally suitable for the Analytics route.
