Life on earth is sustained through plants. The very air we breath, the food we eat and water for our existence are made available by plant life. The discipline of Botany is a fascinating component of biology that encompasses the fundamental sciences and applications of plant life.
The students who have completed Botany as a major subject at Level 3 and 4 are eligible for selection to an Honors degree programme in Botany at the end of the second year (level 4).
We offer Bachelor of Science (Hon’s) in Botany with a comprehensive array of courses which come under the discipline of Botany.

An honors degree student will have the opportunity of studying novel subjects such as molecular biology, bioinformatics, biotechnology, data analysis, and also applied fields in Botany such as integrated crop protection, plant pathology, soil science, industrial microbiology and further, gain in-depth knowledge on fundamental areas such as plant ecology, physiology and systematics. These students will also have an opportunity to read in depth on current issues related to the discipline and engage in a research project which will introduce them to the application of the scientific method and the field of research.
