You will gain knowledge of the diversity, evolution and function of plants and the latest developments in functional genomics, bioinformatics, plant developmental biology, plant pathology, parasite biology, cell signalling, pollination biology, ecology, plant conservation and systems biology.The degree starts broadly, before introducing more choice in years two and three, including a week-long field or laboratory course and a ten-week practical research project.The University's Botanic Garden is nearby. It was the first new university botanic gardens to be built for 40 years and holds more than 4,500 plant species.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.
