How much work would it take to transition to a Computer science masters after a bachelor in a completely unrelated field? Has anyone here done this?
Don't know how to code at all. Didn't have any significant amount of math in bachelor and don't remember jack shit from high school.
Where would I even start? I've seen people recommend the CS50 course from Harvard. I've also seen some Unis that offer transitional courses for people in my position but I don't think I'll be in a position to study in the UK specifically to take advantage of this.
Thanks lads

Or should I do something like the Python program on coursera to see if I like programming at all?
Which completely unrelated field? Depending on what it was, it might be more relevant than you think.

Business. The most math we did was basic stats which contains next to nothing that would be useful.
I've taken business courses before I went into CS. Sadly, I think it might be a bit too much to go straight for a CS master with only a bachelor in business. If you would have come from a math heavy finance or economics background you might have had a chance at picking up the required math. As for the programming part, if you don't know any programming language or have any interest in the area it would be unbearable. As you say, try a course in Python, or maybe C++, before you commit. As a business student SQL-skills might be worthwhile picking up.
if you already have a bachelors you could probably get a job after spending some time at a coding bootcamp.

Cheers. Ye that's what I thought more or less. Might be better for me to just do a masters in a field closer to my own and learn programming on the side.
