Horticulture at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

RBGE offers a unique opportunity to study ‘Plantsmanship’ at Higher National Diploma (HND) and Batchelor of Science (BSc Hons) levels. The degree is taught in conjunction with the Scottish Agricultural College (SRUC) and awarded by The University of Glasgow.

‘Plantsmanship’ is an expertise in plant diversity and cultivation, but on our courses you will also gain a good understanding of other aspects of horticulture and applied plant science. This is achieved by integrating the practical experience of plant cultivation and management with advanced knowledge of plant distribution, classification, diversity, structure and identification. The course enables students to gain in-depth knowledge of a wide range of ornamental plants from around the world and makes full use of our superb botanical collections.
