A Ph.D. in Phytochemistry is a research-oriented program that examines the chemical characteristics and biological activity of plant-derived substances. The curriculum typically lasts 3-5years and covers topics such as plant metabolites, secondary metabolites, extraction methodologies, and bioactivity testing. Students conduct advanced research to find, isolate, and characterize plant chemicals, with a focus on their potential uses in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and natural product chemistry. In most cases, admission needs a Master's degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a similar subject. Graduates work in academia, pharmaceutical businesses, research institutions, and sectors related to natural goods and sustainable medicine.
