The Department of Desertification Combat at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences is at the forefront of environmental preservation and land restoration research. We offer specialized Postgraduate Courses designed for Master’s and PhD candidates who are committed to developing innovative solutions for soil degradation, arid land management, and sustainable ecosystem recovery. Our curriculum integrates advanced geological and biological sciences to equip researchers with the tools needed to combat the global threat of desertification and protect our natural resources.
By enrolling in our Postgraduate Courses, students at the University of Baghdad gain access to specialized field studies and laboratory analysis focusing on sand dune stabilization, drought-resistant crop techniques, and water resource management in arid zones. We emphasize a holistic approach to environmental science, encouraging our researchers to collaborate on projects that restore biodiversity and enhance agricultural productivity in challenging climates. Our faculty provides expert mentorship to help students lead impactful initiatives in the fight against environmental degradation.
