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.
