Hello,
After duly completing a Bachelors education in Botany, a candidate can look forward to being a part of the industry by working as a technician, whereas, a candidate after completing his/her Masters education can look forward to working with some industry giants or being a part of good research teams. The amount of diversity in the field of Botany gives it students to choose their specializations as per their choice, aptitude and interests. There is huge scope of being a part of this industry merely keeping in mind the amount of diversity it has to offer. One can be a part of any reputed organisation as a
Plant explorer: Botanist with a passion for plants who could be a photographer, writer, expeditioner, etc. Conservationist: Is an individual who works for the conservation of the environment and is often linked to organisations working for the cause. Ecologist: A person who works for the eco-system and a balanced environment. Environment consultant: Some botanists qualify to work as environmental consultants, providing inputs and advice for the conservation of the environment. Horticulturist: A horticulturist knows the Science behind different plants, flowers, and greenery. They conduct research in gardening and landscaping, plant propagation, crop production, plant breeding, genetic engineering, plant biochemistry, and plant physiology. Plant biochemist: Biochemists study the chemical and physical principles of living things and of biological processes, such as cell development, growth, heredity, and disease. Molecular biologist: Molecular biologists conduct research and academic activities. The research component involves the study of biological structures in well-equipped laboratories with advanced technology to help them explore complex molecular structures and their particular functions. The equipment may include microscopes, lab centrifuges, computers with specific software that allows them to analyze obtained data, and many more. The number of professions botanists can go into nowadays is endless. Moreover the application of plant sciences improves the yield and supply of medicines, foods, fibers, building materials and other plant products. For getting the best in this course, you should choose the best university. Being an Alumni of LPU, I would say Lovely Professional University is one of the leading university in this course. I hope this helps. All the Best.
