Why Study Botany at UNE?
UNE is a non-metropolitan university surrounded by a floristically rich environment which provides an ideal situation for teaching and research in botany. Our backyard has the most diverse range of vegetation types of any comparable area in Australia and is a biodiversity hotspot. Staff in Botany have expertise in plant systematics, community and population ecology, ecophysiology, and mycology and plant pathology. Our focus is on plants as organisms, but we work on scales from the molecular to global systems. Together with plant scientists in other disciplines, we offer a comprehensive range of undergraduate teaching and postgraduate research opportunities. In addition to Bachelors degrees, we provide a wide range of options for further study and upgrading of qualifications, all available in external (off-campus) mode as well as internally.
