Yes, there's no technical prerequisites to the MOOC, we take it step by step so anyone can access and learn the basics (and beyond).
As long as you have basic computing skills, can handle English material and study it, you shouldn't have an issue pulling through.
You can take the individual session quizzes as many times as you like to improve yourself, during the process, and we're all there to help with any questions that remain.
On the Master's degree itself, you can choose whether to go on a more technically demanding "development pathway" or a more business related one, so there's space for either.
We have students from several disciplines, including computer science, law, economics, political sciences, finance, etc and most manage just fine.

Thanks for sharing this. I've heard of Princeton's MOOC but not this one.
Master of Science? Is there a preview of how difficult this is going to be?
Ok. Reading through the FAQ, it seems like no technical proficiency or prior knowledge is required?
