Our integrated masters course enables you to extend your knowledge of plant science further to develop your skills in communications, project management and research. This is an advanced research year which builds a solid foundation for a career in research and further study in the field. Our plant science degree explores, through investigation and experimentation, how plants grow, develop, reproduce, evolve, fight off pests and diseases, and interact with and respond to their environment. You will learn different aspects of modern plant science, including cell and molecular biology, genetic engineering, plant-pathogen interactions and environmental physiology. You will access our Arabidopsis Stock Centre, housing over half a million genetic plant stocks and be able to apply your knowledge across the agricultural, horticultural, biotechnology and food industries to access varied career opportunities.
