Individuals who enjoy working with plants and crops and who hope to discover new ways to feed a growing world population may be interested in earning a Master of Science in Plant Sciences.

So you might be wondering, what is an MSc in Plant Sciences? This advanced degree covers the study of plant breeding and genetics. The program includes aspects of biochemistry, biotechnology and molecular biology and how they pertain to the growth and development of farming and crops. With this education, students can work to help control pests and weeds, improve crop health and growth, and even research agricultural products in search of alternative fuel methods.

Earning a Master of Science in Plant Sciences can be beneficial for graduates as they can help maintain the nation’s food supply by developing new and innovative ways of agricultural production while also studying the nutritional value and safe harvest of seeds, crops and plants.

The cost to earn an MSc in Plant Sciences can vary depending on the institution of learning and their courses offered. Interested students should contact a university directly to find out their specific tuition costs and fees.

With a master’s degree in plant sciences, graduates can find work in a variety of environments. Many students work in laboratories, universities and horticulture, or with environmental agencies. There are also many government organizations that require an advanced plant sciences degree for certain jobs, such as the Forestry Service, the USDA, botanical gardens or even the Peace Corps. Graduates can also find employment teaching, researching, or managing forests and other natural resources.

Pursuing a Master of Science in Plant Sciences can ensure better employment opportunities in an inventive work environment. Many schools also offer online courses so students can take classes that fit their busy schedules even if there isn’t a college nearby. If you would like to get started on your advanced plant sciences degree, search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.

Plants form the basis of many ecosystems and will play a fundamental role in meeting the 70% increase of global food production demanded by the United Nations by the year 2050. Thus, it is essential that we learn more about how plants function, evolve and interact with their surroundings so that they can be better utilised in the development of a sustainable society. Due to habitat loss and a changing climate, we also need to increase our understanding of the mechanisms that are involved in the generation, maintenance and loss of plant biodiversity. This programme will develop your understanding of and skills about plants, dealing with subjects ranging from molecular and cellular biology to evolutionary dynamics at the species and population level. It provides a foundation for continued studies at the doctoral level but also opens doors to employment within the public sector, forestry and agricultural organisations, ecological and conservation consultancy, plant breeding and education. -

Featured
Life on Earth depends on solar energy captured by plants - they are the base of most food webs and underpin the functioning of all major ecosystems. Plants release the oxygen we breath. They convert solar energy into chemical energy, providing us with food, fibres, renewable energy sources, and raw materials for many industries. Plants do not carry out these processes in isolation. They interact with other organisms and the physical and chemical environment, communicate and actively adjust to their circumstances. How do they do these things at molecular, physiological and functional levels and how can we profit from understanding that? When you have graduated from the Master’s Programme in Integrative Plant Sciences you will have the current answers, based on cutting-edge research by our scientists, to these big questions, and more. -

Featured
Animal and plant breeding are driving the development of new livestock and crop varieties that can cope with the challenges of the changing environment and consumers' demand. Breeding research integrates areas such as quantitative and molecular genetics, biotechnology, and breeding informatics. It has close links to neighboring fields like animal and plant nutrition, animal health, and crop protection, but also marketing, economics, and ethics. Highly specialized experts in this field are required worldwide and have excellent career opportunities in both academia and industry. The International Master Program Integrated Plant and Animal Breeding provides a profoundly interdisciplinary approach to breeding research by bridging the gap between animal and plant breeding; covers all relevant disciplines of breeding research; and is supplemented by external lecturers from leading international breeding companies, research institutions, and national authorities. -
