As part of Kew’s ambitious commitment to training the next generation of biodiversity scientists, we’re expanding our postgraduate training offer with the launch of two new MSc courses.

Our MSc programmes offer the opportunity to study at the world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, with unrivalled access to its scientific expertise, collections, laboratory facilities, partnerships and landscapes.
