Education and training at the Centre is based on the School of Anthropology and Conservation’s MSc in Ethnobotany, with links to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Botanical Gardens International, the Eden Project and UCL’s School of Pharmacy. Our Ethnobotanist in Residence Programme and the CBCD Seminar Series also support education goals of the Centre. We also offer an MRes in Ethnobiology (Masters by research), for those with prior training and experience.

The Centre regularly hosts Visiting or Exchange students (MSc and PhD) who work with CBCD staff and participate in the educational and research life of the School.
