  • The content of the course is updated, at least A level standard. In general, the modules are full of details and cover material at undergraduate level. I would recommend the Botany diploma to anyone wanting to study Biology or Plant Science at undergraduate level.

  • Initially, I felt a little confused because I have never done a course like this, but once I begun to learn about the subject everything was easy to follow. The course was what I require at this stage, it really helped me in my work because I think I have another perspective of plants and the environment now.

A botanist specialises and has an interest in plant biology. This course in Botany is aimed at providing a detailed introduction to the subject, the world of plants, fungi and algae and how it affects our daily life and its potential for the future. Throughout the course reference is made to human-plant interactions so that we are reminded of the relevance of botany in today's technical world. Historically Botany arose out of the need feed and herbalism to identify useful, medical and poisonous plants, and many gardens were found attached first to monasteries and later to universities for research. Today the most powerful microscopes and techniques in the sciences such as cell Biology and Biochemistry have allowed the most detailed investigations of plants and plant cells.
