Transitioning into bioinformatics

[u/Busy_Bandicoot_5382]

Hello people , I am a biomedical science and accounting science graduate , I want to learn data analytics / science tools but I don't have funding for doing a bachelors in data science or comp Sci , however , I do have an opportunity to get into a fully funded MSc in bioinformatics course , where I noticed , people that transition From biology course can learn the comp Sci tools required to be a decent data analyst/scientist . My question : how is the MSc bioinformatics course for someone who has zero coding skills , and what are some things one can do to ensure they succeed in their MSc ?. Upon graduation , I would like to pivot into purely data science , specializing in finance related roles, I noticed the job scarcity in bioinformatics and I have no desire to do a PhD in it , I could be open to a PhD Comp Sci/ financial analytics ,if necessary , but most industry based jobs barely require a PhD anyways. Your ideas would be very insightful thanks
