B.Sc. in Plant Science
Duration : 3
B.Sc. Plant Science or Bachelor of Science in Plant Science is an undergraduate Agricultural Science and Technology course. Plant science covers an enormously broad area, incorporating many biological disciplines from genetics, through molecular and cellular biology, to whole organisms. Field studies form an important part of our teaching, and you will attend two field courses, one during the first year and another in the second. Plant Science degree is focused on developing your understanding of how plants work, at all scales from molecular physiology to global ecology. This will expose you to a wide range of techniques and ideas which are central to modern biology. By focusing on plants, but studying all aspects of their biology you get an excellent integrative view of modern biology
