Studies in molecular biology focus on the biochemical processes that compose the molecular machinery of life. The pathway that flows from DNA transcription to RNA translation to protein synthesis is one key area of study.

A Master of Science is an educational program that requires students to complete coursework, hands-on training, and a research paper in order to earn the degree. With an MSc, students have the option of specializing their degree in a chosen field or concentration.

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