Introduction Environmental Science
BS in Environmental Sciences was started in Faisalabad campus in 2020. Environmental Sciences is the interdisciplinary subject which uses knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and other related subjects to understand natural processes and human impacts in the atmosphere, aquatic systems, and soils. The B.S. program is designed to prepare the students with concept, methods and field experience in the subjects including Environmental Microbiology, Air Quality, Water and Waste Water Treatment, Solid Waste Management, Environmental Chemistry, Water Resource Management and Sanitation, Environmental Laws and Policies, Environmental Hazards and Natural Disasters, Environmental Policy and Management, Occupational Hygiene, Health Safety and Environment and Environmental Ethics. The department has fully equipped laboratories and research units to support the teaching, learning and research activities. A variety of openings and career opportunities in government sector, industry, private companies and consulting firms are available for students graduating with a BS degree in Environmental Sciences.
The aim of launching this program is to provide an educational environmental where quality education can be imparted to the youth and to involve various sectors of the society e.g engineers, technologists, doctors, policy makers, funding agencies, investors, importers, exporters, media educators and all sorts of professionals forming a joint effort to encounter environmental issues.
