    Environmental science, zoology, geology, marine biology to name a few. Many universities do these types of degrees but you'd have to enter a general science degree and then specialise in 3rd yr I think!

    Have a look at the course finder option on www.qualifax.ie! :)

    I'm in my third year of college doing Botany in TCD. Here's a page you might be interested in:
    http://www.tcd.ie/Botany/undergraduate/botany/

    The TCD website has similar pages for courses like Environmental Science and Zoology, which you might be interested in also.

    _LilyRose_ is right as far as I know, usually in these courses you start off with a more general science/biology view and then you specialise, but there's also a few people in my class who came in to third year from another course (can't remember where they did it but it was more hands on and went straight into botany from the start).
