Biological and Biomedical Sciences (Botany), BA (Hons)

Botany involves the scientific investigation of plants, conducted in fields, botanical gardens, and laboratories. Plants span from towering forest trees to microscopic algae in freshwater and marine habitats. This field is essential, as plants supply food, oxygen, medicines, and key insights into global climate change. Tackling climate threats represents a major challenge, requiring human efforts to deliver food and energy for a growing population while safeguarding biodiversity and habitats.
