Different dates available
There is a current lack of horticulturists trained to degree level, particularly in the UK. This means that as a graduate, you will have excellent employment opportunities.
As well as an understanding of the commercial production of fruit, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants, this course teaches how to address the design, establishment and maintenance of parks and gardens, open spaces and managed landscapes. It will give you a broad base of horticultural knowledge that prepares you for work in any area of the industry, and establish your capabilities in horticultural science, experimentation in plant physiology and advances in horticultural technology.The Horticulture BSc/BSc (Hons) degree is awarded by the University of Glasgow.

Course programme
What Will I Learn
The first two years are the HND Horticulture, which can be studied at either the Edinburgh or Ayr Campuses. In years three and four you will study core subjects plus a choice of specialist modules in production horticulture (including vegetable and fruit production and global horticulture) or green space management (landscape horticulture, woodlands and open space management).
How Will I Learn
You will visit growers and landscapers to evaluate production methods and management requirements, and scientific organisations to see field and lab experimentation. You will prepare blueprints for plant production, management plans and collect lab, field and landscape-based data for analysis.
Honours Projects
In your fourth year you will undertake your own research project in a subject which interests you, drawing together all that you have learnt on your course.
Topics covered are varied: example Honours Projects include an investigation of alternative treatments for the control of powdery mildew on a protected strawberry crop, the effect a realistic number of plants has on the IEQ of an office during winter time and the effect of flash flooding on street tree growth.
