MSC IT conversion course - online (Northumbria)?

[someonelockthefridgealready]

I am looking to "future-proof" my career and move into an IT-related field. There is some potential at work to contribute AI projects, but I'd really like a qualification for myself, with a view to switching careers. I was encouraged away from careers in IT when at school and I still have a chip on my shoulder about it!

I dabble with programming (free-to-code camp, CS50) and sites like TryHackMe and Capturetheflag stuff.

I really need an online course to fit around work. I looked at general IT degrees from OU and Arden, but it was going to take a long time to qualify and I'm worried about skills being outdated in the meantime. And my interests are AI and cybersecurity, rather than web development or PM.

I'd love to find a fully online MSC conversion course - Northumbria has one with an AI pathway. Does anyone know anything about it? Or any others?

Office for Students have funded a load of Data sci and AI courses with scholarships available - their website had a list. I’d work through that to see which will suit you. And avoid the birkbeck one.

Thanks, there's a few more options on there that I hadn't seen yet. Including one which asks you to demonstrate ability in maths, so I'll get on to that asap. I've been doing some maths courses on edx but I'm going to look into doing something with a certification.
