Masters Degrees in Botanical biotechnology

This course offers advanced training for biological, chemical and physical scientists (pure and applied) for careers in the pharmaceutical, food/nutrition, health-care, biomedical, oil and other important industries or as a basis for entry to MRes or PhD.

Overview. Our one-year MSc Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement course is perfect training if you plan to take a further degree in plant molecular genetics, or alternatively, a career in plant breeding and crop improvement.

This course will give you specialist training in the modern molecular aspects of plant science. A large part of your teaching will be delivered by academics from the University’s Centre for Plant Sciences (.

Our established programme in Biotechnology, which has been extensively updated, includes a wide range of modern molecular biology techniques and how biotechnology can be used by today's society.

Plants form the basis of life as they convert sunlight into an inexhaustible source of food and renewable raw materials. Plants also have a stabilising effect in (agro) ecosystems, a landscape function and ornamental value.

Government and private companies are working to develop new ways to improve existing food and animal feed crops, and to develop novel crops to meet future challenges.

Make a global difference with our Master's in Agriculture for Sustainable Development. integrating natural, social and economic sciences, you'll gain a firm grounding in research methods of sustainable agricultural systems, using case studies of real projects.

Plant Breeding plays an important role in the development of plant varieties for food, feed and industrial uses. New varieties have to meet current demands regarding yield, disease resistance, quality characteristics, salt or drought tolerance and suitability for sustainable plant production systems.

Plant Science graduate program offers advanced study in applied plant biology, with a commitment to development of sustainable managed agroecosystems.

The Department of Plant Sciences is an outstanding University Centre for research in plant and microbial sciences. It offers unrivalled research and training opportunities in the following areas of plant and microbial science.

The UK has a growing need for graduates with advanced biotechnology qualifications to meet growing needs of existing industries and to create new enterprise in a sector experiencing a revolution due to the advances in research and technology which has catapulted new industries and transformed existing industries.

How will we feed nine billion people by 2050? It’s a challenge with complex solutions. In the UK alone, it’s estimated that £1.2bn is lost annually from the value of our soils due to mismanagement.

DEVELOPING THE PROCESSES OF THE FUTURE. Developing and optimising chemical and biotechnological processes plays a key role in modern society.
