    I'm interested in pursuing certifications (and knowledge of course :D ) on one of those fields online. It needs not to be very expensive since I'm paying it out of pocket (since I already have a MSc on CS and being financed for a PhD atm I can't get further financing on this endeavor).

    One option I have found is the Open University of Catalonia, a Masters on Bioinformatics would cost me around 4.890,00 €, which is well within my budget. What's degreeinfo opinion on this institution?

    Other options such as a Masters on Big Data at UCB is around 60K USD, which I could conceivably pay for, but I'm not sure if it's worth the cost. I have looked at other options, such as a certificate on applied bioinformatics from Penn State Online campus which is just a bit more expensive than the Masters from OUC and for a lesser degree, but considering that I already have a Masters, this might be a better option.

    Any other options, thought or advice? Thanks for reading.
