The University's Botanic Garden is nearby with more than 4,500 plant species and was the first new university botanic gardens to be built for 40 years.The MSci is particularly suitable for students who are planning to continue in plant science research and would like the extra experience and competitive edge when applying for PhDs or research jobs.
