Bachelor of Biological Science - Plant Biology (Extended Major)

In Plant Biology, you will study plants from molecular, cellular, and physiological perspectives and develop an understanding of the molecular characterisation of plant development and reproduction, as well as genetic, genomic and physiological studies that aim to elucidate how plants interact with their environments. In addition, you will study the abundance and diversity of plant species and how these have evolved, using molecular and genetic tools.

As a student of the Plant Biology major, you will be trained to apply a combination of scientific knowledge from botany, molecular sciences and genetics, working on applications to real-world problems such as how plants adapt to climate change impacts and how to produce healthier and more sustainable foods for the future.

A major in Plant Biology will accelerate you into a diverse range of career pathways. You could research and develop new ways to use plants for industrial applications such as biofuels, improve plant disease resistance or drought and salt tolerance, or help discover new species. The extended major further allows a new pathway into Honours in Botany as well as the MSc in Biological Sciences, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology.
