Plants are the core to understanding one of the greatest issues of our time ? global climate change. In Trinity we specialise in the study of the evolution, genetics, ecophysiology, vegetation structure, history and dynamics, sustainability and conservation of all forms of plant life.If you are interested in the future of the planet and life on it then Botany is for you. Almost no other course offers you the opportunity to study the natural, living World in the field and laboratory. Our graduates enter into a large range of careers and, as there is a global shortage of plant scientists find employment in a huge range of careers. Career opportunities

When you graduate you can move directly into a career related to plant biology, such as nature conservation, environmental consultancy, environmental protection or agricultural research as well as teaching at second-level. Alternatively, you might decide to go on to take a higher degree in Trinity College or elsewhere. The skills you acquire in the Sophister (third and fourth) years are also widely applicable in business and industry.
