Evaluation of a scheme to develop pilot engineering and computing conversion masters' courses

This report presents the evaluation of a 2015 funding initiative to develop pilot conversion courses at masters' level in engineering, data science, cybersecurity and computing. Funding for the pilot programme was delivered by HEFCE and supported by additional funds from the (then) Department of Business, Innovation and Skills and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The programme was intended to explore whether conversion courses at masters' level could enable greater numbers of graduates into engineering-related and computer-related careers.
