Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. I had no idea something like this existed. As someone who has done online learning in the past (Academy of Art University, Udacity, Coursera), this seems like something right up my alley. $8000/year is extremely reasonable. Some quick questions: Are there any extra fees? How many classes in first/second/third year? Are they separated by semester or quarter? Does this include General Ed? Are there any previous qualifications one needs before applying? EDIT: I answered most of my questions on that page! My only concern is passing the GCE "AS" Level which I can't find too much information on...

My advice is to not sweat it. If you feel like you need to spend $8000/year to cure your imposter syndrome I have news for you: it won't go away. It has nothing to do with your credentials.

  Hey thanks for that. I am currently studying algorithms on my own for interest and interviews. My only concern is the amount of doors that may open for me with a degree.

You probably don't need to do A-levels or AS-levels, they have a 'work experience' entry route, where if you're over 21, and have 2 years experience in technology, you can get in without any education beyond high school. Then your continued progress depends on performance in the first few courses, as you'd expect. What's also nice is that like most UK degrees, the course grades are weighted higher towards the layer years with the more advanced courses. It's something like 10% first year, 30% second year, 60% third year. That means that if you're not used to academic work, you can scale up over time, and still get a good grade overall if you hit your stride by the second year.
