The example is the Sheffield campus programme, not Sheffield Hallam University.

Helpful answers
Practical answers to help you plan your course, destination and next intake.
Ask a counsellorSelected programme options include Data Science MSc — September 2027. These are selected examples, not the full catalogue. Availability, campus, mode of study and teaching language must be checked for your intake.
The published minimum is a UK 2:1 honours equivalent in any subject. Applications receive an overall assessment; meeting the stated minimum is not an admission promise. The specific 2027 course says references and a supporting statement are not required, despite the general application guidance describing documents used by other programmes. The course requires IELTS 6.5 overall, with 6.0 in each component, or a university-approved equivalent. Check the exact qualification and evidence requirements in the offer.
The accessible official 2027 course page contains fee headings but did not expose the overseas tuition amount. A numeric 2027 quotation therefore remains unverified; obtain the current full-time MSc fee from Sheffield before budgeting. Do not substitute a Sheffield Hallam fee or a prior-year amount. Fees are not a university-wide average. Confirm the exact course, fee year, currency, deposit, extra charges and refund conditions before paying.
A final Data Science application closing date was not verified in the accessed 2027 course/application pages. The course advertises applications for 2027; confirm current availability directly. The 6 July scholarship offer-acceptance cutoff is not an admissions deadline. The 2027/28 listing starts in September 2027: one year full-time, with separate two- or three-year part-time options. International applicants must confirm whether their proposed study mode is compatible with their immigration arrangements. A semester start date is not an application closing date. Check scholarship and visa timelines separately.
