We have a vibrant postgraduate student group comprising over 50 students. Projects are wide ranging, from predominantly field-based, to mainly laboratory-based research, with many projects incorporating aspects of both. The new Centre for AgriBioscience will also offer significant opportunities for Botany postgraduates to work in state-of–the-art plant growth facilities (including PC2 and QC2 level containment areas).

How to apply 

Students interested in applying for postgraduate research are encouraged to first contact prospective supervisors to discuss potential research topics.
