Bachelor of Science in Plant Sciences

Program Overview

This course will give you an in-depth insight into fundamental plant biology. You’ll explore photosynthesis, the genetics of disease resistance and the conservation of plant diversity. You’ll study these topics while considering how we can harness plant technology to solve global food and energy shortages, mitigate the effects of the climate crisis, and develop sustainable and green technologies.

You'll cover two main themes at Sheffield:

  • Plant physiology - how plants harvest light energy, acquire nutrients from the soil and convert this to sustain growth
  • Plant ecology - how plants interact with each other and their non-living environment, and disease resistance and biodiversity.

This course is designed for students who have a passion for understanding the role of plants in sustainability and the science and technology of food production. Sheffield is home to the Institute for Sustainable Food, which brings together our expertise in this area in order to find dynamic solutions to the challenges of food security and sustainability. It’s research like this that you’ll be able to get involved in throughout your studies.

Alongside your specialist plant science modules, you’ll have the freedom to study topics across the breadth of biology to complement your knowledge. Topics range from molecular genetics, developmental biology and biochemistry, to evolution, zoology and physiology. This flexibility allows you to study plant sciences in greater depth from a range of perspectives, broaden your interests or even switch to another biosciences degree.
