Lincoln University offers a MSc in plant breeding. This programme is focused on providing candidates with a practical/vocational qualification. The core of the course has been developed with assistance from Internationally renowned plant breeders/geneticists and plant breeding industry partners within New Zealand.
The course can be accessed as a 2-year MSc, or as a 1 year papers only course. It has been modularised so that we can deliver the content online if necessary. We have incorporated a number of workshops/field trips that will put you in contact with both research organisations and breeding companies that we visit to give a hands on taste of how plant breeding works in the real-world.
