We offer six for-credit sessions per year lasting eight weeks each. With the flexibility to enroll when you want to and take a break if you need it, the MS-CS on Coursera fits your schedule—not the other way around. Enrollment windows open two weeks before courses start and close two weeks before they end. When you’re enrolled in the for-credit version of a course, assignments are due by the last day of the eight-week session.

Admissions Checklist

You’ll need to provide proof of your identity, using a scanned copy of one of these documents: your birth certificate, passport or national identification card. If you’ve ever changed your name, we’ll need to see evidence related to that, too.

You’ll need a scanned copy of your GCSE certificates or certified statement of results. If you’re submitting evidence of equivalent qualifications, please check the University of London's 'Am I Qualified?' page.

Submit your personal statement to provide details of why you want to study the University of London International Foundation Programme for Computer Science. This should be a maximum of 250 words.

You’ll need a clear, concise and persuasive statement, 250 words long, explaining why you want to study the International Foundation Programme for Computer Science. If you’re unsure of what to include, Coursera can help.

The course is delivered in English, so you’ll need to be proficient in the English language to be admitted to our programmes. We accept a range of evidence, including proficiency test scores. If you don’t have evidence, but you believe you can meet the standard, talk to us - we may consider your case.
