Plant Biotechnology
As the human population increases, the challenges of meeting global requirements for food security become increasingly difficult. This two-year full-time MSc programme will provide the students a space to explore modified approaches towards plant cultivation to meet rapidly changing climates. It will also acquaint them with genetic and molecular tools that can be used to generate nutritional, resistant and diverse food crops for the future. They will also acquire an understanding on the need for sustainable biotechnological solutions. This, coupled with state-of-the-art laboratories, affords enterprising students the space to accelerate the development of new products and compete globally in this sector.
This Programme Covers
Integrated crop management, multi-cropping, precision agriculture and organic farming; vertical agriculture
Soil management and enhancement for sustainable fertility
Novel domestication to broaden crop use
Molecular biology and modern techniques of breeding for enhanced crop performance; enhancing orphan crops
Genetically-engineered plants for improved performance, disease and pest-resistance; associated regulatory and IP issues
Engineering photosynthesis
Engineering plants and other photosynthetic organisms for the production of valuable compounds
Principles of a circular economy and sustainable product design
OMICS and bioinformatics
Exchange and Travel Opportunities
There will be an opportunity for student placements at the University of Edinburgh during the programme
Professional opportunities
Students graduating from the programme will find employment opportunities in various industries, both national and international companies. They will also possess the skills to generate ideas for their own business or continue in other university-based research settings
