You will learn about integrated solutions to emerging plant pathogens, which are rooted in the science of molecular plant-microbe interactions, plant immunity, microbial pathogenesis and data science. You will also learn the leadership and management skills required to make a difference on the ground. We adopt innovative teaching methods that encourage active and independent learning with less emphasis on traditional didactic lectures. You will deepen your learning in the last module of the course by working with a team on a scenario-based research project.

You will be taught by TSL’s world-leading researchers including Professor Nick Talbot FRS, Professor Sophien Kamoun FRS, Professor Jonathan Jones FRS, Professor Wenbo Ma, Professor Cyril Zipfel, Professor Dan MacLean, Dr Matthew Moscou, Dr Peter van Esse, Dr Frank Menke and international guest speakers involved in global plant health. Three of these researchers are in the 2020 Highly Cited Researchers list of the top 1% scientists on the globe. You will also learn from our staff scientists, research students and post-doctoral workers.

Integration with a diverse community of scientists

You will be integrated in the diverse TSL research community with a base in our newly refurbished MSc study area within the TSL building. The study area includes seminar space as well as desk space with IT infrastructure for each MSc student. You will have a “buddy” assigned to you who is an early career researcher at TSL who will be able to support you throughout the course. You will attend the weekly TSL research seminars and are encouraged to attend other seminars hosted by us and our partner institutions across the Norwich Research Park. TSL is relatively small institution that is focussed on scientific excellence with a strong emphasis on collaboration and mutual support. This creates a dynamic environment in which to enjoy the things we love to do.

You will be equipped with the skills and attributes to allow you to pursue a career in research, agribiotechnology, or policy making in diverse national and international organisations involved in managing and responding to plant disease.

British Society of Plant Pathology Bursary Scheme

The BSPP MSc/MRes Bursary Scheme awards bursaries to support students undertaking courses with a significant plant pathology content, such as our MSc in Global Plant Health. Please see the BSPP website for more details - bspp.org.uk.

Degrees are awarded by the University of East Anglia

You will register for your degree at the University of East Anglia (UEA) through the School of Biological Sciences. UEA offers accommodation on their campus, which is part of the wider Norwich Research Park in which TSL is also situated. Overseas postgraduate students new to UEA are usually given priority for a place to stay on campus.
