Vision, Mission, and Goals of the Department of Environment
Brief Overview of the Department of Environment
The Department of Environment at the College of Science / University of Al-Qadisiyah was established in the academic year (2008-2009). The first batch graduated in the year 2012-2013. The department includes a number of faculty members holding postgraduate degrees (Master’s and Ph.D.) in various specializations related to environmental science. The department awards a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences after completing four academic years. The department aspires to open a Master’s degree program in Environmental Sciences. It houses a number of laboratories equipped with the latest devices from leading international manufacturers, most notably:- Environment and Pollution Laboratory
- Microbiology Laboratory
- Scientific Research Laboratory
👁️ Department Vision:
1. Activating activities and projects related to current community problems, such as desertification and excessive waste accumulation, by formulating plans to address these issues in cooperation with various state institutions, including planting high-heat and drought-tolerant plants to create green oases, as well as establishing sanitary landfills.
2. Overcoming some of the country’s environmental challenges through conducting field experimental research that contributes to eliminating such problems, such as finding solutions for desalting agricultural drainage water in the governorate to reuse it in irrigation.
✉️ Department Mission:
- Focusing on the environment and human health while relentlessly striving to eliminate pollutants to achieve a clean, pollution-free environment.
- Solving environmental problems relevant to society’s reality and current conditions, including desertification, activating related activities and projects, finding appropriate solutions, and developing plans to establish sanitary landfills managed by state institutions in the governorate.
- Raising awareness among researchers regarding the importance of seminars, training courses, evaluative and guidance meetings, and workshops to gain practical applications and information within frameworks supporting the national environmental protection and improvement project.
- Training all sectors of society, particularly employees in state institutions, on problem-solving methodologies for pollution issues and proper disposal methods.
- Organizing exhibitions highlighting the impacts of environmental pollution in the governorate.
🎯 Department Goals
- ✔️ Preparing scientific cadres who rationally engage with sciences to serve humanity and the environment, playing an active role in global scientific activities through participation in international scientific conferences.
- ✔️ Contributing to deepening environmental awareness through lectures, organizing conferences, seminars, scientific meetings, and training courses at various levels.
- ✔️ Conducting academic and applied research and studies in the field of environmental protection and enhancement.
- ✔️ Improving environmental conditions through field visits to hospitals and factories.
