A BSc in Botany is normally a three-year undergraduate programme, though this varies by university and nation. The programme is intended to give students a thorough understanding of botany, or the scientific study of plants. A BSc in Botany program’s curriculum typically consists of a mix of core and elective courses. Plant biology, plant physiology, plant taxonomy, ecology, genetics, and microbiology are examples of core subjects. Students may also be able to take elective courses in specialised fields of botany such as plant pathology, ethnobotany, or plant biotechnology.
