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.

Individuals who do not want to invest the time or money toward a formal degree can work to earn a diploma instead. This is ideal for individuals who just graduated from secondary school or those looking to change or jumpstart careers.

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.
