Frequently focused on the research and analysis of cellular biology, the study of molecular life sciences embraces physics, biology, and chemistry to help students understand the human body, nature, and the living world on a cellular level.

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.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
