Bachelor of Science in Plant Sciences

Program Overview

If you want to make a difference, studying a science degree at Monash will give you the opportunity to learn from leading experts whose cutting-edge research is influencing the world's future.

The comprehensive range of majors, extended majors and minors on offer provides you with a broad education and allows you to explore varied interests before focusing in the one or two areas that most inspire you. However, if a particular field has always captivated you, you can choose it from the start.


Major: Plant Sciences
Plant science is the study of plants, their diversity and structure, and how they function. It involves studying plants living on land, in the sea and in freshwater environments, from the scale of genes and molecules to ecology.

In this major you will investigate how plants function, how they obtain water and nutrients, and how they use energy from sunlight to produce carbohydrates by photosynthesis. You will also study how plants adapt to particular environments, and the factors that influence the distribution and diversity of plant species, and the plant communities in which they grow.

This is particularly important for understanding the impact of human activities – including global climate change – on plant communities, so that we can provide better management in the future.

In Plant sciences you will investigate how plants function and study the diversity of plant groups, from algae and mosses through to gymnosperms and angiosperms. In learning how plants are adapted to particular environments, you will study the exciting biology and ecology of terrestrial and aquatic plants and plant communities in their natural environment.
