DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
The significance of environmental issues is univocally accepted worldwide. The need of environmental awareness and research has been realized as the most important educational domain for human protection and safety. Environmental Sciences is a challenging and important field of science. Environmental degradation has occurred over time due to population explosion, over exploitation of resources, increasing land use, lack of environmental awareness, climatic shift etc. due to which it is nowadays a global issue of concern. The curriculum and the courses are designed in line with the HEC guidelines in an effective manner which makes the program highly research oriented. The programs offered in the Department of Environmental Science will be a significant contribution to the existing pool of environmental awareness and research and will help to develop intellectuals and researchers to solve environmental issues of the world in general and the country in particular. In line with the socio-economic development requirements of the country, these program are highly capable of meeting the current demands of environmental protection and sustainable development. The Environmental Sciences department at University of Narowal (UON) seeks to provide students with opportunity to engage in an intensive academic environment that includes multi-disciplinary, cutting-edge research, and an entrepreneurial ecosystem
The department envisions that Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary subject combining ecosystem processes and human activities. The understanding of knowledge and skills acquired through studying Environmental Science is critical to the attainment of sustainable development for sound environmental management.
The mission of the Department is to make people aware of the hazards of environmental pollution and offer viable solutions to these problems. Courses for the degrees offered at the Department including BS Environmental Science and MPhil Environmental Science have been designed to deliver a sound theoretical knowledge and practical expertise of scientific principles that would enable graduates to effectively address the local to global environmental issues.
