The course aims to bridge traditional and modern approaches and equip biologists,

taxonomy and a wide knowledge of biodiversity and its investigation. The course
combines formal instruction, practical work, workshops, essays, field work, research
projects and tutorials covering all major areas of botanical endeavour and including
the function, management and funding of taxonomic collections and institutes.
Currently it comprises work with plants and fungi and is run in partnership with the
Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.
