Why this course matches you.

Your BSc in Statistics (CGPA 3.6/4.0) exceeds University of Westbridge's 2:1 requirement, and your Python and SQL project work maps directly to the programming prerequisite. Your IELTS 7.0 clears the bar comfortably. The one gap: no formal machine-learning coursework — this programme assumes none, which is exactly why it ranks above similar courses for you. Applicants with your profile received offers here in 84% of cases last cycle.

Scores are estimates based on published requirements and historical outcomes — never a guarantee.
