The Department of Plant Sciences is a unique centre of learning in the fundamental plant processes which sustain life on earth, using an understanding of molecular mechanisms and ecological systems to inform teaching across the Natural Sciences.
Research excellence was recognised in the recent (2008-9) RAE submission from the School of Biology by the volume of staff identified as researchers of world-leading or international status. A recent Learning and Teaching Review (Spring 2009) acknowledged the excellence, enthusiasm and commitment of staff, and commended the learning support given to students and the introduction of new teaching initiatives.
