Our Plant Science course is designed to give you an in-depth understanding of the latest concepts in genetics, plant breeding, gene mapping, plant physiology, and data analysis.

You’ll also have the chance to get involved with research being undertaken in a variety of core topics specifically relevant to animal biology, physiology and ecology.
Our friendly and supportive team has an open-door policy and is ready to support and advise you throughout your studies.
