Botany is the area of biology that deals with plants, fungi and photosynthetic micro-organisms. Plants play a central role in the maintenance of life on our planet by providing oxygen and food for all other organisms. This key position in the biosphere makes it essential that we fully understand plant processes and their interactions with other living organisms. Plant biology is an increasingly active research area, and the past decade has already brought major advances in understanding how plants function.

Our department jointly offers Specialist, Major and Minor programs in Botany.
