The Bachelor of Science (Plant Science) explores the study of plants in various ecosystems, from their genetic makeup to their role in ecology. Students will learn how plants acquire water and nutrients, and use sunlight for photosynthesis. This course also investigates how plants adapt to specific environments, and the factors that affect plant diversity and distribution. This knowledge is crucial for understanding the influence of human activities, including climate change, on plant communities and for future sustainable management.
