Bioscience studies focus on explaining biological processes through the application of biology, chemistry, and physics. Courses may focus on plants, animals, or humans and prepare students for specialized studies in medicine, ecology, microbiology, and other fields related to living organisms.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.

Online learning refers to use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning one has the flexibility to access their studies at any time and from anywhere they can log on.
