Botany subject descriptions
The School of Botany offers an exciting and stimulating research environment for studying plants and plant processes. Programs cover a broad spectrum of basic, strategic and applied research. Active collaborations are maintained with other universities and Research Institutes in Australia and overseas, and with State and Federal Government Agencies and Industry.
From 1999 onwards, the School of Botany offers majors in several areas of plant biology, with emphasis on modern technologies and important emerging fields of research. Some subjects offer field work and outdoor experience in diverse Australian environments. Botany is specifically responsible for majors in:
Terrestrial Ecology
Plant Ecology and Ecophysiology
Biodiversity and Evolutionary Plant Biology
Plant Pathology
Plant Cell and Molecular Biology
Plant Biotechnology
Other Science majors in which Botany has a significant teaching involvement are as follows:
Cell and Molecular Biology
Marine Biology
Marine Ecology
Conservation of Australian Wildlife
Environmental Science for Life Sciences
Reproduction and Development
All these Botany majors require completion of an appropriate first year package. Students are strongly encouraged to seek advice and information on their choice of majors (second and third year courses) during the course advising sessions offered in the second semester, or by appointment with course advisers arranged through the departmental secretary.
For information about the Faculty and departmental entry requirements for Honours, please refer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) and Bachelor of Information Systems (Honours). These requirements should be considered when planning your course.
