What is Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
The MSc Computer Science is a 1 year programme in Coventry with published tuition of GBP 19,500. MSc Computer Science combines the taught sequence with the final work published for this exact award. The complete planning total shown here is INR 45.10 lakh. The current official course and fee pages control the final offer.
The selected May 2027 start is full time at Coventry campus and lasts one year. Its published fee evidence is GBP 19,500 for 2026/27, producing a INR 45.10 lakh whole-course planning case. Coventry still has no single international closing date. The Research Organization Registry record confirms Coventry University’s institutional identity.
MSc Computer Science doesn’t guarantee admission, isn’t a job offer and can’t replace the published academic preparation or a workable funding plan.
How much does Coventry University's MSc Computer Science cost?
The full one-year planning total is about INR 45.10 lakh for an Indian applicant before optional spending. It combines GBP 19,500 tuition, twelve months of outside-London living at the current visa-maintenance rate, the GBP 558 Student visa and an estimated 18-month student health surcharge.
| Item | INR | Local currency | When it is due |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition baseline, full programme | INR 24.93 lakh | GBP 19,500 | University payment schedule |
| Living plan, 12 months | INR 17.97 lakh | GBP 14,052 | Across the course |
| Student visa | INR 0.71 lakh | GBP 558 | At visa application |
| Student health surcharge estimate | INR 1.49 lakh | GBP 1,164 | At visa application |
| Full-programme planning total | INR 45.10 lakh | GBP 35,274 | Before flights and housing deposit |
The visa evidence requirement is GBP 10,539 for nine months outside London. It is living money, so it is not added again on top of the twelve-month living plan. Converted using GBP 1 = INR 127.86 on 11 September 2026. The 12-month living line extends the official nine-month outside-London requirement at the same monthly rate.

Coventry’s 2026/27 postgraduate residence prices run from GBP 5,900 for a 50-week Parish Rooms bedroom to GBP 11,600 for a premium private option. The page uses the immigration maintenance rate instead so food, local travel and personal spending are not mistaken for rent alone.
Can an Indian student get into Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
The academic rule for MSc Computer Science is a 2:2 honours degree in a computational discipline with essential programming knowledge and experience. Coventry’s Indian postgraduate equivalence sets 60 per cent for three-year degrees and 55 per cent for four-year degrees, while the course evidence still has to support Advanced Programming.
| Requirement | Published rule | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Degree standard (India) (India) | For MSc Computer Science: 60% in a three-year degree or 55% in a four-year degree | The actual award length determines the MSc Computer Science threshold |
| Course background for MSc Computer Science (India) | a 2:2 honours degree in a computational discipline with essential programming knowledge and experience | Map transcript evidence to Advanced Programming and Advanced Software Development |
| Preparation for Advanced Programming (India) | Relevant marked modules, project work or accepted professional evidence | Index the strongest assessed work for Advanced Programming |
| English evidence (India) | IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5 | Every component must satisfy the rule attached to MSc Computer Science |
| Programme admission chances (India) | Coventry University does not publish a programme-level intake size or acceptance rate for MSc Computer Science on the official pages checked on 2 November 2026. | Treat admission as a requirements decision, not a published probability. |
| Backlogs (India) | No blanket backlog limit is published for MSc Computer Science; the complete transcript and awarded degree are assessed. | Disclose every attempt and backlog in the official transcript. |
| Three-year Indian bachelor's (India) | No blanket statement accepting every three-year Indian bachelor's is published for MSc Computer Science. | Ask Admissions for a written equivalence decision before paying non-refundable costs. |
| Indian grade bar (India) | The programme's published academic minimum applies, but Coventry University does not publish a universal Indian CGPA or percentage conversion for this course. | Submit the grading scale and let the university assess equivalence. |
| Scholarships for Indian applicants (India) | No scholarship reserved for Indian applicants is promised on the MSc Computer Science programme page. | Use only awards whose nationality and programme rules explicitly include you. |
A credible MSc Computer Science file identifies marked work or relevant responsibility connected to Advanced Programming. It then explains why that preparation can extend into Advanced Software Development and eventually Individual Research Project; the final percentage can’t show this on its own.
For English, MSc Computer Science publishes IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5. Its course page doesn’t promise automatic acceptance of a medium-of-instruction letter, so the accepted evidence or offer condition controls.
Admission chances: Coventry University does not publish a MSc Computer Science cohort size, acceptance rate or typical admitted GPA on the official pages checked on 2 November 2026. Meeting the minimum is not an offer guarantee.

How should an Indian applicant apply for Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
Apply through Coventry’s direct international portal. The university does not publish one universal course deadline for May 2027. Applicants use 31 January 2027 as an Nbyula planning cut-off, then let the course page and offer letter replace it when Coventry publishes a binding date.
The MSc Computer Science route runs from exact course and start-date selection through the direct application, evidence review, offer conditions, India-specific deposit, CAS and Student visa.
| Step | Task | Allowance | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Secure English evidence | 90 days | Meet IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5 using an accepted result. |
| 02 | Prepare the complete file | 28 days | Collect transcripts, certificate, reference, statement, passport and translations. |
| 03 | Check course fit | 14 days | Match the degree and transcript to Advanced Programming and Advanced Software Development. |
| 04 | Submit through Coventry | 1 day | Submit before the 31 January 2027 planning cut-off or any earlier official date. |
These allowances are preparation estimates, not university processing times.
The MSc Computer Science route runs from exact course and start-date selection through the direct application, evidence review, offer conditions, India-specific deposit, CAS and Student visa.
The allowances are Nbyula planning estimates, not processing times published by Coventry University.
Coventry says it aims to issue an initial application decision within one week, although busy periods can take longer. That is not the whole visa timetable. Conditions, deposit payment and CAS follow after the admission decision.
What jobs can follow Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
MSc Computer Science can point towards software development, software engineering, data analysis, AI work and systems roles. Its clearest employment evidence is a 60-credit Individual Research Project after four advanced computing blocks; Coventry hasn’t published an audited placement percentage for this course in the current official evidence.
| Measure | Figure | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Role directions from MSc Computer Science | software development, software engineering, data analysis, AI work and systems roles | Coventry course outcomes and curriculum |
| Evidence produced in MSc Computer Science | a 60-credit Individual Research Project after four advanced computing blocks | Assessment through Individual Research Project |
| Technical or managerial base in MSc Computer Science | advanced programming, software development, secure systems, machine learning and big data | Published teaching before Individual Research Project |
| Audited placement result for MSc Computer Science | None published | No MSc Computer Science cohort percentage located |
These MSc Computer Science directions are possible uses of the award, not a placement probability or salary promise.

A role conversation for MSc Computer Science should rest on Individual Research Project: the candidate can describe the chosen problem, evidence, method, result and limitation. That is more inspectable than a claim based only on Coventry’s name.
The official MSc Computer Science programme page and the university career material linked in Sources were checked on 2 November 2026. No programme-level intake size, acceptance rate, audited placement rate, named recruiter list or salary table was published there. No salary is quoted on this page without a source.
The separate official context comes from GOV.UK, Student route financial evidence. Those rules don’t guarantee admission, immigration status or employment for this programme.
Who is Coventry University's MSc Computer Science for?
MSc Computer Science fits when earlier evidence supports Advanced Programming and the intended next role can use Individual Research Project. It is weak when either that academic connection or the INR 45.10 lakh funding plan rests on an unverified assumption.
| Verdict | Your background | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Strong fit | Applicant prepared for Advanced Programming | Marked work also supports progression into Advanced Software Development. |
| Strong fit | Candidate who needs Individual Research Project | The intended role can evaluate a substantial final assessment. |
| Needs evidence | Adjacent background considering MSc Computer Science | The formal degree and subject conditions still apply. |
| Do not shortlist | Applicant mismatched to a MSc Computer Science limitation | The course-specific reservation in the verdict materially affects this profile. |
A strong MSc Computer Science match joins earlier study to Advanced Programming, accepts the demand of Advanced Software Development, and has a planned use for Individual Research Project. Matching the degree title alone isn’t evidence of that fit.
A weak MSc Computer Science match pursues the advertised career directions while avoiding the actual assessed subject mix. A neighbouring Coventry programme may then create more relevant evidence.
What does Coventry University's MSc Computer Science cover?
The MSc Computer Science totals 180 UK credits. The table preserves every named module or route block Coventry publishes for this course page. Route modules are alternatives rather than extra credit, and Coventry can update the curriculum before the selected start.
| Component | Credits | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Programming | 30 | |
| Advanced Software Development | 30 | |
| Secure Computing Systems | 30 | |
| Machine Learning and Big Data | 30 | |
| Individual Research Project | 60 | |
| Total | 180 |
- Complete 180 credits in the approved course combination.
- Follow all compulsory blocks and only the route modules assigned to the chosen award.
- Treat a professional placement as optional and student-secured where the course offers it.
The note “Compulsory” applies to 5 components in this table.
The taught sequence starts with Advanced Programming and then moves through Advanced Software Development. These are not interchangeable labels. They show the knowledge Coventry assesses before the final independent work.
The published curriculum for MSc Computer Science lists Advanced Programming, Advanced Software Development, Secure Computing Systems, Machine Learning and Big Data, and Individual Research Project. These are programme facts, not a claim about admission, module availability, salary or employment.
Should an Indian applicant shortlist Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
A defensible case for the MSc Computer Science starts with readiness for Advanced Programming. It becomes stronger when Advanced Software Development serves the intended role and Individual Research Project becomes assessable evidence rather than merely another assignment in the full-time year overall.
The decisive output is Individual Research Project. Its value depends on whether the candidate can explain the decisions, methods and limitations inside that work to an employer in the intended field.
The principal reservation is course-specific. This is not a beginner conversion course. Coventry calls programming knowledge essential, so an unrelated degree without assessed coding is a poor match. That limitation deserves the same weight as the attractive modules when the final shortlist is made.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Coventry University's MSc Computer Science for Indian students?
The latest published international tuition baseline is GBP 19,500 for 2026/27. Adding a twelve-month outside-London living plan, the GBP 558 Student visa and an estimated GBP 1,164 student health surcharge gives GBP 35,274, about INR 45.10 lakh, before flights and a housing deposit.
What is the deadline for Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
Coventry does not publish one universal international deadline for May 2027. This page uses 31 January 2027 only as a planning cut-off, not as a university promise. Check the live course page and the date in your offer because a course can close or move to another of Coventry's six starts.
What Indian degree marks are needed for Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
Coventry's India page asks for 60 per cent in a three-year undergraduate degree or 55 per cent in a four-year degree. You must also meet the course rule, which asks for a 2:2 honours degree in a computational discipline with essential programming knowledge and experience. The lower four-year percentage cannot be used for a three-year award.
Does Coventry University's MSc Computer Science require IELTS, GRE or GMAT?
The English rule is IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5. Coventry does not list GRE or GMAT as an admission requirement on this course page. A test score cannot replace the qualifying degree, subject preparation or the work-experience condition where the programme publishes one.
How much deposit does an Indian student pay for Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
Applicants from Punjab, Uttarakhand and Haryana are placed in Coventry's full first-year tuition category before CAS. Other Indian applicants normally fall under the GBP 8,000 category. The deposit counts towards tuition rather than adding to it, and the amount printed in the individual offer is binding.
Can I work in the UK after Coventry University's MSc Computer Science?
An eligible graduate can apply in the UK after Coventry reports successful completion. Graduate visa applications made from 1 January 2027 receive 18 months. The route permits most work and job-seeking but cannot be extended, so a longer stay requires another eligible visa such as Skilled Worker.
