A superior science education at UWA provides students with highly sought-after skills valued by global employers, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to humanity's pressing challenges.

Botany is the scientific study of plants—from their structure and function to their indispensable roles in ecosystems and the intricacies of their cell function. Botanists study how plants evolve and adapt to changing climates and environments and have a proactive role in mitigating the loss of biodiversity. Botany is an ideal major if you are enthusiastic about Western Australia's unique native flora or agricultural crops, and are interested in addressing current and future threats to plant conservation and sustainability. It is envisaged that there will be up to three overnight field trips (there will be a cost of up to \$500 to cover food and accommodation for around 10 nights, to be borne by the student).
