What's so good about studying Crops for the Future at Dundee?

The course is based on 11 taught course units, together with a series of case studies where particular course aspects are covered from a detailed practical viewpoint. In addition to units dealing with contemporary Crop Science, there will be a strong emphasis on aspects of ecology and environmental biology relevant to sustainable agriculture in the 21st century.

Teaching will be delivered by our international leaders in this scientific area and our colleagues in industry and other institutions.

"The lectures, seminars and other teaching on this course were first class, allowing us to learn the latest techniques in plant science from some of the leading practitioners in the world.

The course is extremely comprehensive, covering practically everything you might wish to know about crop science, and the best bit has been working in a research laboratory doing my project.
Ajay Samuel, MRes student

Who should study this course?

This course is aimed mainly at students who intend to make a research career in crop plants and would particularly suit students who intend careers in the breeding, pathology and biotechnology of crop plants.

We place a strong emphasis on training in research skills and a key component is our full-time research project for the last 4 months of the course in one of our top research laboratories. The MRes is therefore an excellent foundation for PhD research in crop science. This course is suitable for UK and overseas students who have obtained a good undergraduate degree in any life science or for motivated graduates in physical science who wish to move into plant biology.
