Plant Science degrees abroad

Plant science programs are concerned with the growth, development and productivity of plants. It also looks at how plants evolve, fight off pests, diseases, and interact with and respond to their environment. It’s a hugely important subject that is key to sustaining biodiversity and solving growing problems like crop productivity.

It can cover a number of related subjects including genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, plant-pathogen interactions and environmental physiology, with close links to botany and plant biology. It’s an ideal subject for those with a passion for plants, a scientific mind and a desire to make a difference.

Plant science programs are available at universities all over the world, and studying abroad gives you the opportunity to work with plant species you’d never see at home. It’s also a great chance to broaden your personal horizons, make new friends and improve your language skills.

Plant Science program structure

Plant science undergraduate degrees are offered as a BSc, and will take you three or four years to complete. Postgraduate degrees are also available as research master’s (MSc or MRes), or you can get a doctorate / PhD.

Most programs will be taught through lectures, field trips, practical laboratory work and small group tutorials. You’ll be assessed via written coursework and essays, exams, and practical assessments, and most programs will include a research project in the final year.

The exact course structure and content of plant science programs is likely to change depending on the university you choose to study at. Programs are also often named differently, but cover very similar topics - for example plant biology or botany degrees. However, there are some core subjects you can expect to cover when studying plant science, including:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular biology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecology
  • Plant physiology
  • Genetics and evolution
  • Plant pests and pathogens
  • Plant diversity
