Your Journey to Becoming a Plant Expert
Plants are beautiful and incredibly complex. For instance plants produce food for themselves from sunlight and carbon dioxide. They can cool themselves on hot days by drawing up moisture from the soil and releasing it through leaf pores. They also have complex relationships with fungi in the soil which serve as a conduit of connecting root systems, providing enrichment, sustenance and support to a variety of different systems.
Study this fascinating course to learn about plant physiology and biology, chemical reactions in plants, and the anatomy of plants.
Learn how important plants are to human life and global sustainability.
Plants are very important to more industries than what most people imagine; from pharmaceuticals to pollution control and construction to tourism.
Through this study program, you learn to understand plants, and grow your awareness of how and where that knowledge may be applied in business for commercial and social benefits in the modern world.
This is an experiential learning-based course. Throughout your studies you will have the opportunity to network with and learn from a variety of industry professionals. Establishing real-world relationships and confidence is key to career success.
Modules
Note that each module in the Advanced Certificate in Botany is a short course in its own right, and may be studied separately.
Be Different...!
In the past, people who worked with plant science were commonly purely classically trained at university for work in one of two professions - botany of environmental science.
Whilst these professions remain as important and interesting mainstays of plant-based learning, today, a medley of other career opportunities have opened within this space. This course will support your studies towards working as a botanist, environmental scientist or something different!
