Department Of Soil and Environmental Sciences

The role of Soil in the agricultural development of any country is crucial. In case of Pakistan, Agriculture is considered as the backbone of Pakistan’s economy contributing 22% in GDP and providing livelihood to 66% population. The agricultural development and sustainability of a country mainly depends on soil resources and environment quality. “No life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together”. Fundamental knowledge of soil and Environment is not only vital for good health and crop production, but also for natural resources management, climate change and environmental policy and protection.

Our degree programs are arranged to prepare students to address agricultural, environmental and soil related challenges in Pakistan and around the globe. We are offering both undergraduate programs i.e. B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture-Soil Science, BS-Environmental Science and Postgraduate Programs i.e., M.Sc. (Hons) Soil Science and MS-Environmental Science. In near future PhD programs will be started. After graduation, our students serve in Public and Private sector research, academia, industry and advisory services.
