Degree Guidance based on these interests:

[NeuralFlow]

Would anyone have online MSc Degree recommendations for me based on my interests/activity:

I have always enjoyed in-depth science, especially from an electron flow perspective. Such as signal analysis of how electronics interact with substrate and quantify electron flow into describable phenomena or how computation can be found everywhere, things around intelligence and agency in systems, technical systems in general, electronic components, biological physiology and am very well equipped in the physical sciences both from formal academia and from all this being a personal hobby for over a decade and not having much life outside of it.

I day dream about stuff similar to Micheal Levin's work around bioelectric systems and re-interpretating collective intelligence schemas and how to model them. Joscha Bach, I've re-listened to his lectures since COVID, thinking of his proposals daily and his text book Principles of Synthetic Intelligence was fun to review and think about it, probably didnt understand all it had to offer though.

I've taken alot of outside-of-academia courses like a few month program for programming with R , CompTIA certs, many coursera stuff, and alot of years of 'play' which taught me alot of tools and how things work across computing stuff. I also have played alot with electrolysis experiments using a re-wired PC PSU and different anodes for things like ewaste, playing with metals and stuff. I have a strong grasp on biology, math and chemistry

And of course I'd like it to lead to employment with survival wages at least...but everyone else wants that too and its getting rarer and rarer...So might as well just follow my person interest path either way.

I'm looking for online MSc programs, open to reasonable online PhD programs, but mostly looking at MSc for now.

Types of degrees I've liked when looking at so far:
Computational Biology/Bioinformatics
Computational Life Sciences
Biomimicry
Cognitive Architecture content
Electronic Engineering


with computational approach rather than biotechnology, theres a better chance I can use virtual environments for compute resources to play around with stuff im learning about and exploring. Compared to biotechnology which may be a bit more equipment focused, that I may never see in real life and certainly couldnt afford for myself to explore. So thats why I havent leaned too much into BioTechnology programs

I have a BSc in environmental management systems and a MSc in financial planning (it was free and i did it, but ive never worked in finance and having the MS without experience, networks, hasnt gotten me anywhere in applying to many types of positions...I go hard on job applications and do them often, but i live in a semi-rural town and am not equipped to leave for another year or two). Currently I work in a dishroom and call center for a hospital, COVID upturned my life bad.

Any insights or explicit rules/laws around titles and eligilibilities in this industry are also appreciated, if any.

Thanks !

Welcome to the board, great initial post to get the ball rolling and start searching for institutions or programs that may fit. Have you already got a shortlist created? If not, I would recommend creating one and then have a couple of backup options just in case. It's also a good idea to provide info asked for on the addendum and template, as we don't know your age, budget, commitments, location/state, study habits, etc: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works
