The Cambridge Certificate in Botany is a month-long residential course at Cambridge University Botanic Garden focused on botany, systematics and comparative morphology.

The programme is designed for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students, post-doctoral researchers and professionals.

Applications should be submitted via the Cambridge University Botanic Garden website. Places are limited to 15 participants, with half board at Queens’ College subject to availability.
