Data Science and Analytics MSc

Published standard: Minimum lower second class honours degree (2:2) in a scientific or engineering discipline with some IT exposure, or in computer science/IT with strong quantitative interest; employed applicants without a formal qualification may be considered (official Westminster course page). IELTS: 6.5 overall, 6.5 in Writing, no element below 6.0. Pakistan (OFFICIAL Westminster Pakistan country page, read 25 Oct 2026): typically 4-year Bachelor 58% / CGPA 2.8, OR 3-year Bachelor (Honours) in a Technical subject 65% / CGPA 3.5, OR 2-year Master's 58% / CGPA 2.8 / Division 1, depending on the university; the programme's published 2:2/2:1 standard also applies. Do NOT quote aggregator India figures (bachelor 55-60%) as the Pakistan threshold. FM Consultants NOT on Westminster's published Pakistan representatives list (HR Consultants, Education Resources Network, MR Consultants, FES Higher Education Consultants, PFL Education only) - confirm contracted/representative status in writing before any agent-route submission; do not claim approved-agent status. No Westminster-specific Pakistan pause, sponsor-licence suspension, region exclusion or study-gap limit was found; sector-wide 5% refusal-threshold pressure (FT, Oct 2026: ~15 universities reported pausing Pakistan recruitment, Westminster NOT named) means confirm Westminster's CAS stance at offer stage. Deposit (aggregator-reported, confirm on offer): GBP 5,500 non-refundable, credited to tuition; 50% of annual tuition due by enrolment. Qualification verification via Westminster's Qualifications Checker Portal may be an offer condition. January course page exists on westminster.ac.uk; personal statement required. CONFLICT preserved: IELTS 6.5/6.0 standard vs this course's stricter 6.5 Writing requirement - quote the stricter figure.
