The Department of Soil Sciences and Water Resources at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences is dedicated to the sustainable management of our planet’s most vital natural resources. We offer a comprehensive range of Postgraduate Courses designed for Master’s and PhD candidates who wish to specialize in soil chemistry, irrigation management, and hydrologic modeling. Our curriculum provides researchers with the advanced scientific foundations and technical skills necessary to address global issues such as soil salinity, water scarcity, and land degradation.
Through our Postgraduate Courses, students at the University of Baghdad participate in high-level research projects that utilize modern GIS and remote sensing technologies to analyze soil-water-plant relationships. We focus on developing innovative irrigation strategies and soil conservation practices that enhance agricultural productivity while preserving environmental integrity. Our esteemed faculty provides dedicated guidance, ensuring that our graduates are well-prepared to lead in academic institutions and environmental agencies worldwide.
