Course Overview

Imagine people believing that dirt cannot be fun to play with. Think again! Our MSc in Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry at SGT University is a two-year programme specialising in soil. 

This program will not just be a rote-learning situation where you are merely fed information to go on and regurgitate. Soon, you'll be in a lab, in the field, and on your fingers and toes, working on real-life projects to discover how soil properties, chemicals, and various farming practices interrelate. 

The MSc in Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, the course to be pursued at the postgraduate level, is a focused course to impart detailed knowledge to the students about soil characteristics, utilisation of nutrients and the utilisation of chemical concepts in agricultural studies at a higher level. This program provides students with the knowledge and skills to counter the issues affecting the agricultural sector and ensure food security.

The Masters of Science in Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry subjects taught include basics in soil physics, geography, chemistry of various types of soils, fertility of soils, nutritional needs of plants, microbiology of the soils, and aspects of environmental chemistry. Students can fully understand and apply conventional theories through classroom lectures and practical work that includes lab work, field visits, and undertaking research projects.
