Horticulture has changed dramatically in recent decades and will no doubt continue to change rapidly; but there will always remain a need for horticulturalists while we continue to eat fruit and vegetables, play sport and use tree planting to improve the environment in which we live.

Horticultural Technicans and Scientists need to have a strong foundation in both horticulture and science. They need to know how to identify lots of different plants, and the botany and chemistry that underpins an understanding of how to grow those plants .

Graduates may find employment as

• A technician
• A teacher
• A research assistant.

Whatever is in vogue at different times throughout your career, this course will prepare you to move into and adapt to working in that part of the industry.
