Plant Science

Optimal dates for exchange: Year 2: Semester 1

Planning your exchange: Semester 1 of Year 2 is the optimal time for exchange whilst pursuing the Plant Science major. Whilst abroad students could choose a selection of Science Electives/Breadth subjects.

Upon return to UoM, students will need to ensure they enrol in BOTA20002 Plant Biodiversity, BCMB20002 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and ECOL20003 Ecology, as well as an additional Level 2 Biological Science subject. This will ensure students meet pre-requisite requirements for the following major electives upon return to UoM:

Students following this advice should be aware that they will not meet pre-requisite requirements for the Plant Science major electives: AGRI30042 Plant Pathology and ECOL30006 Ecology in Changing Environments

* Should students wish to enrol in AGRI30042 Plant Pathology at UoM, then they would need to find an equivalent to BOTA20001 Green Planet: Plants and the Environment or AGRI20026 Plant Growth Processes during their exchange.

* Should students wish to enrol in ECOL30006 Ecology in Changing Environments, they would need to enrol in an equivalent to MAST20031 Analysis of Biological Data whilst abroad.

Things to consider:

- ECOL20003 Ecology is recommended for students pursuing the Plant Science major. The Faculty of Science has mapped this subject at several partner institutions. It is recommended that students attempt to enrol in an equivalent unit to ECOL20003 Ecology, whilst they are abroad.

- SCIE30001 Science Research Project is a Level 3 elective for the Plant Science major. Students interested in undertaking undergraduate research could investigate completing SCIE30003 Science Research Project Abroad at the partner institution. This subject is equivalent to SCIE30001 but designed for students undertaking undergraduate research at overseas partner institutions.
