As the climate changes and the world population grows, understanding how plants work at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism level, and how they interact with soils, water, and other organisms, becomes ever more critical. Plant science encompasses genetics, physiology, ecology, biochemistry, and the applied science of agriculture and crop improvement. At the University of Edinburgh, this four-year full-time programme immerses you in the science of plant biology within one of the UK's leading research universities. You will study the fundamental processes of plant growth, dev
