Plant science combines a broad range of approaches to understand and manipulate how plants function in the natural world. In combination with Molecular and Cellular Biology with Plant Science this offers a fundamental approach that underpins the study of all living organisms. The molecular and cellular basis of plant growth and disease as well as plant biotechnology and food security, Plant Science underpins our survival. Now is an exciting time to be a plant scientist. You’ll be taught by world-leading scientists, whose research is making a world-changing impact in areas such as CO2 assimilation, plant response to light and their environment, flowering, drought- and pest resistance and food security.We strongly encourage applications for summer internships and help students to try to secure these either at the University of Glasgow or further afield.Molecular and Cellular Biology with Plant Science at the University of Glasgow continues to meet and exceed student expectations, combining both teaching excellence and a supportive learning environment. You’ll benefit from in depth lecture series on specialised topics that are aligned with practical laboratory classes, problem solving and critical thinking sessions. Practical classes access state of the art equipment and are developed and well supported by academic members of staff.You will study molecular aspects of plant biology, plant metabolism, plant biotechnology, plant physiology, plant growth and development. You may undertake a practical research project in plant science. This degree programme is professionally accredited by the Royal Society of Biology
