Plant Science (M.Sc.)
Course Overview
This two-year, research-focused Master of Science (Thesis) provides advanced study and training in plant science. You’ll complete specialized coursework tailored to your area of research, with topics covering plant breeding, physiology, genetics, pathology, ecology, and molecular biology. A major component of the program is conducting original research and writing a thesis under the supervision of experienced faculty.
Students can also choose unique options like the Bioinformatics stream, which combines plant science with computational methods, or the Neotropical Environment option, which includes research and fieldwork in Latin American ecosystems such as Panama.
