The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Pretoria is one of the largest of its kind. We know that global challenges do not exist in silos, so we encourage postgraduate research projects across and beyond a range of disciplines and fields. We are known to produce proudly African solutions to the planet’s most pressing concerns.
While we maintain a strong focus on addressing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, primarily hunger and food security, we also offer postgraduate programmes in various internationally recognised fields such as big data, radio astronomy, agricultural economics and even fashion, retail and food science.
