Course Description | Plant biotechnology focuses on plant sciences, molecular biology and biotechnology for the improvement of plants and their products in tropical and temperate environments. In this course, the latest developments and requirements of agro-industry are considered in relation to the exploitation of commercially important plant systems and plant biotechnology. Areas of study include the theory and practical transferable skills of plant genetic improvement, technologies relevant to plant biotechnology, and plant breeding and genome research. The plant biotechnology course is designed to equip you with a range of skills and a knowledge base valued by many employers. You will be encouraged to learn practical aspects of biotechnology and gain working skills through internships and visits to biotechnology companies, research stations, plantations and other relevant institutions. Course structureThe plant biotechnology programme provides a detailed and comprehensive education in plant biotechnology in which you will learn underlying principles, defining concepts, theories and practical skills, and become familiar with current knowledge and developments in the subject. It also considers fundamental research in areas that offer the prospect of future commercial applications. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
