Figure 1: Degree programs for students taking Plants and the Soil Environment in spring 2020. Total number of students in the class was 24. BSc Biology degree programme is based in the School of Life Sciences (LS), Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences while all the other degree programs are within the School of Biosciences, Faculty of Science. Biology, Environmental Science and Environmental Biology are based at our University Park Campus while Plant and Agriculture sciences are based at our Sutton Bonington campus. The module is run on the Sutton Bonington Campus.
