Plants are vital for life on Earth. They provide us with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the drugs that may save our lives. On our plant science degree, we'll teach you about the diversity, evolution and physiology of plant life.
For compulsory modules, you'll spend around 70% of your time in the lab or in the field. This includes taking trips to destinations like Cyprus and Tenerife to see the variety of plants there are in the world. You'll use industry-standard technology to hone your practical and research skills. There's also a chance to gain an extra qualification in canopy biology and access – unique in the UK.
Your tutors are published plant science researchers, contributing to some of the best plant science journals in the world. They'll teach you relevant, contemporary skills and theory.
