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.

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 fieldwork 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.
