Course Overview

The PgC element is a blended learning course of four modules where each module is delivered 60% online over six weeks, followed by two days of face-to-face delivery on campus. All module assessments are by coursework assignments. There is a two-day induction to the course at the start of the academic year in September.

Students in full-time employment would typically complete the four PgC modules over two years. (For students wishing to finish in one year, there would be an overlap of typically two weeks of two modules running concurrently wherein in the first module, students would be conducting an assignment, and in the second module, students would be starting the online portion of the taught content)

Students may then progress onto the PgD by selecting four optional modules from the applied ecology suite of courses. These are taught in one- or two-week blocks. For the MSc, a Master’s Research Project is also completed.

The course is strongly aligned with the competencies of the Royal Society of Biology Plant Health Professional Register.

General Eligibility
