Master of bioinformatics question
Hi, I hope everyone is having a lovely day. I am a South Korean national who graduated from Monash University with a degree in Bachelor of Science, majoring in biotechnology.
I am planning on building my career to a bioinformatician, or a relevant profession, and I just can't decide on whether I should dive into either an honours, which is research-based, or master of bioinformatics, a coursework. I would most likely pursue a phd in the future, and I have heard that science courseworks aren't really worth it, so I think a few people might think that I should just jump into honours.
However, given the lack of bioinformatics background, high research components of the unimelb bioinformatics masters, and the uncertainty of being able to pursue honours in bioinformatics-related research given my profile, I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever been in this course before, and if so, how was your experience? I would appreciate answers from other people, if you have any advice for me. Cheers.
