<p>The Master of Science in Floriculture is a postgraduate programme that prepares professionals for advanced practice in floriculture, ornamental plant production, flower breeding, and the cut flower industry. The programme combines plant science theory with practical greenhouse, field, and laboratory work, research, and application. Core areas include floriculture, ornamental plant production, flower breeding, greenhouse management, post-harvest physiology, plant biotechnology, pest management, research methods, and thesis. Students engage with both theoretical and practical work through coursework, laboratory sessions, field work, and research. The programme is offered by the University of Nairobi as MSc in Floriculture through the Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection in the Faculty of Agriculture. JKUAT and the University of Embu offer MSc in Horticulture with floriculture as a core module. All are public universities offering programmes over two academic years through full-time and part-time modes of study. Students develop competencies in floriculture production, flower breeding, greenhouse management, post-harvest handling, and plant biotechnology. The programme includes coursework, examinations, laboratory sessions, field work, and a supervised research thesis. University of Nairobi charges approximately KES 365,500/year (KES 731,000 total) for MSc in Floriculture, based on comparable biological sciences programmes. JKUAT charges approximately KES 178,500/year (KES 357,000 total) for MSc in Horticulture. Entry requires a Bachelor's degree with Second Class Honours Upper Division in agriculture, horticulture, botany, environmental sciences, forestry, or related plant science fields from a recognised university. Graduates pursue careers as floriculture scientists, flower farm managers, greenhouse managers, post-harvest specialists, plant breeders, and lecturers in floriculture across flower farms, horticultural companies, research institutions, government ministries, and universities.</p><h3>Skills Required</h3><ul><li>Floriculture Production and Management</li><li>Ornamental Plant Breeding and Genetics</li><li>Greenhouse and Controlled Environment Management</li><li>Post-Harvest Physiology of Cut Flowers</li><li>Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology</li><li>Floriculture Pest and Disease Management</li><li>Flower Marketing and Supply Chain Management</li><li>Irrigation and Nutrient Management</li><li>Research Methods in Horticultural Science</li><li>Academic Writing and Thesis Research</li></ul><h3>Key Subjects</h3><ul><li>Floriculture Production and Management</li><li>Ornamental Plant Breeding and Genetics</li><li>Greenhouse and Controlled Environment Management</li><li>Post-Harvest Physiology of Cut Flowers</li><li>Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology</li><li>Floriculture Pest and Disease Management</li><li>Flower Marketing and Supply Chain Management</li><li>Irrigation and Nutrient Management</li><li>Research Methods in Horticultural Science</li><li>Thesis Research</li></ul><h3>Certifications</h3><ul><li>KFC Silver Standard Certification</li><li>GlobalG.A.P.
