Botany and Environmental Science Programme

The Botany and Environmental Science programme is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the natural world, focusing on plant biology and the intricate relationships between living organisms and their environments. Botany, the scientific study of plants, encompasses their physiology, growth, reproduction, and evolution, while Environmental Science examines the physical, chemical, and biological components of ecosystems and their interactions. The programme highlights the importance of understanding the impact of human activity on plant life and the environment and equips students with the knowledge required to contribute to the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.

This programme aims to develop well-rounded graduates with a comprehensive understanding of both disciplines, preparing them for diverse careers in research, conservation, education, environmental policy, and more. Students will engage in hands-on learning, field studies, and research projects, deepening their understanding of plant life and environmental challenges.
