Dean

Welcome to an extraordinary Faculty with traditions and an eye to the future.

We are proud to be the ancestors of the great pharos who were the first man kind to develop agriculture techniques .

Yet we still leaders in agriculture in our area. We are located on the west bank of the Nile at Assiut city - Egypt. The Faculty of agriculture was inaugurated in the academic year of 1959/1960.

Our programs focuses on four major resources: the biological resource, including horticulture (vegetables - fruits - ornamentals), field crops, live stock and poultry, the natural resource including soil and water; dairy and food technology environmental resources, including genetics, plant pathology and plant protection and the human resource, including rural and economics.

The Faculty of Agricultural at Assiut University has earned a reputation for its high-caliber teaching programs and its friendly helpful staff. We are the legal father of three faculties of agriculture in upper -Egypt (Elmaniaa Faculty of Agriculture at Minia University, Sohag Faculty of Agriculture and Quenna Faculty of Agriculture at South Valley University).

Our Faculty has played a vital role in providing trained human resources for the development of agriculture in Egypt in gneral and in Upper-Egypt in particular. We are doing a great job to train staff for local institutions such as the Ministry of Agriculture, and the private sector.

Recently we were the winner of the the IDB (Islamic Development Bank) prize for science & technology 1423 H (2002).Our strength comes from our diversity and our depth in both the natural and social sciences.

We are different from any other faculty in Egypt and clearly "More than you expect".
