Plant Biology

All the food we eat stems from plants and crops. As the human population grows and our climate changes, we need to improve crop productivity. Plant and crop scientists have a vital role in the future of food.

Our integrated masters degree provides an additional year of study to gain valuable research and project management skills.

You'll investigate and experiment with plant growth. You'll understand how plants develop, reproduce and how they evolve to respond to their environment.

Benefit from our international reputation for research in plant science. You'll be taught by experts across different aspects of plant science.

Explore many exciting aspects of modern plant biology, including:

cell and molecular biology

genetic engineering

plant-pathogen interactions

environmental physiology

ecology

You'll apply plant biology to uses in the agricultural, horticultural, biotechnology and food industries.
