The School of Botany provides an exciting and stimulating research environment for studying plants and plant processes. Our program covers 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 the major in botany. The areas covered in this major are diverse and include plant function and ecology; phytoplankton and seaweeds; systematics and evolutionary plant biology; field botany; fungi; plant diseases and defence; plant cell and molecular biology; and plant biotechnology.

Other majors in which the School of Botany has a significant teaching and research involvement are marine biology, ecology and cell biology. The major in botany is also an excellent complementary major with biochemistry, biotechnology, environmental science, genetics, geography and zoology.

The botany major requires completion of at least 50 points of 300-level botany subjects. Accordingly, students should select as a minimum those second-year subjects that are prerequisites for the third-year courses they anticipate enrolling in. Students are strongly encouraged to seek advice and information on their choice of second and third-year courses for any of these majors during the course advising week offered in the second semester, or by appointment with course advisors arranged through the departmental secretary.
