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 breathe. 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. 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.

Master Programs in Life Sciences Horticulture Plant Sciences
For students who want to expand their education after earning their undergraduate degree, a master’s degree is the next logical step. A Master in Plant Sciences focuses on crop and plant production, as well as farming systems.
You may be wondering, what is a Master in Plant Sciences? This program teaches students about crop production and developing sustainable systems for the production of renewable resources, pharmaceuticals, and food. Students will learn the principles of plant breeding, plant pathology, and agro-ecology, and how to integrate these to provide healthy specimens for food and non-food applications. Students can choose to specialize in areas such as crop science, greenhouse horticulture, natural resource management, plant breeding and genetic resources, and plant entomology and pathology.
Because they are professionals trained at a university, one of the biggest benefits to earning a Master in Plant Sciences is that employability is high, and many students receive job offers even before they graduate. The research and analytical skills learned are beneficial in many areas, and students learn how to take better care of the environment.
For students interested in earning their master’s degree, there are programs available both nationally and internationally. The duration and specific programs vary from school to school, so costs fluctuate quite a bit. Ask your school of choice what it would cost to complete the program.
Those who graduate with a Master in Plant Sciences have many career prospects. Those who want to go into research are often employed at research institutes, universities, and agribusiness or plant breeding companies. Other careers may be in policy, management, consultancy, and communication in governmental and agribusiness organizations.
Because everyone’s schedules are so different, many schools are allowing more flexible schedules by offering online classes. Some programs may have specific courses online, while others may offer the entire master’s program as an online option.
