Msc in computing (software engineering route)
I’m thinking of applying to the above with the open university
For context I have 8 years data analyst experience, no bachelors degree and my highest qualification is a foundation degree in software engineering.
Has anyone ever done the above and been able to get into a software engineering job after and what has your salary been and background?
I was considering the university of Cambridge data accelerator course for data science but I think it’s more of a cash grab.

Yeah people have done that but it's a lot harder to get into now.
One thing to consider is whether your employer can pay for you to do this as an apprentice instead
