So, is an undergraduate degree required or not?

View on HN

> A typical applicant will have at least two years' experience in a professional environment, and an undergraduate degree in a related subject. However, more extensive experience may compensate for a lack of formal qualifications, and a strong, immediately-relevant qualification may compensate for a lack of professional experience.

From the linked page:

> Applications are welcome from anyone with an appropriate combination of academic achievement and industrial experience; a first degree in a related discipline may be useful, but is by no means necessary.

> Each MSc within the Software Engineering Programme is available only to part-time students; there is a separate MSc in Computer Science for full-time students.

I believe the full time study noted here is what you linked to.

You have linked to the page for the full-time MSc in Computer Science, which is a different course with different requirements.

Maybe they meant and undergraduate degree in Computer Science is not required?
