Faculty of Agriculture:
The faculty has implemented one of the modern educational systems that relies on practical practices to solve problems. Therefore, it has taken the initiative to train students from the Department of Rural Community and Agricultural Extension on real-world issues, using modern scientific methods to find suitable solutions.
A dedicated greenhouse was established for students, where they cultivate environmentally friendly plants and trees. Under the scientific supervision of the university and faculty, students plant these species based on previously identified environmental needs. Following the success of this activity, a new greenhouse was created for ornamental, medicinal, and aromatic plants to preserve rare species of plants and trees.

Examples of some educational programs offered in the Faculty of Agriculture
The Agriculture Faculty provides programs focused on soil and water management, irrigation practices, and conservation.
Course Aim | Code | Course |
The course aims to provide students with knowledge, concepts, and both intellectual and professional skills related to the mineral and organic composition of soil, the various chemical processes occurring within it, and the influence of soil properties on these processes. It also covers the study of the behavior of certain elements and inorganic pollutants in soil | Soil 2103 | Soil Chemistry |
Graduates should be able to understand how to treat wastewater using various treatment techniques and how to reuse treated wastewater for irrigation purposes | Soil 2128 | Reuse of Wastewater in Agriculture |
The course aims to equip students with knowledge, concepts, and intellectual and professional skills that enable them to identify different types of pollutants and sources of soil and water contamination, study the properties and behavior of various pollutants, and develop the ability to manage and treat them, as well as understand the standards for reusing wastewater in agriculture | Soil 1215 | Soil and Water Pollution and their Treatments |
Upon successful completion of this course, the graduate will be able to identify different types of on-farm irrigation systems and determine the most appropriate system for application based on soil characteristics, available water resources, and site conditions. The graduate will also be able to calculate irrigation water requirements, recognize the components and specifications of modern irrigation systems, and perform their installation, operation, maintenance, and supervision in desert land environments. | Soil 1324 | Management and Operation of Modern Irrigation Systems in Desert Lands
|
This course aims to prepare students intellectually and professionally by providing them with the knowledge and general professional skills related to the management of different soil problems, their reclamation, treatment, and protection from pollution. The course also develops students' understanding of water quality, water resources evaluation, and the suitability of water for agricultural and environmental uses. | Soil 2111 | Soil Reclamation |

Workshops Organization:
Departments like Botany, Zoology, and Entomology within the Faculty of Science, along with the Faculty of Agriculture, regularly organize workshops, field studies, and training sessions to educate communities about biodiversity, sustainable land use, and ecosystem protection.
Second International Conference on Biological Sciences (February 2025):
With participation from 140 researchers from Egypt and abroad, the university organized a conference titled “Innovative Solutions in Biology for a Sustainable Future”, focusing on biodiversity loss, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem protection.
Plant Tissue Culture and Genetic Diversity Workshop (April 2025):
Assiut University is organizing a specialized workshop titled “Plant Tissue Culture and Genetic Differences: Development, Applications, and Detection Methods”. This workshop, led by the Molecular Biology Research and Studies Institute, focuses on supporting biodiversity and achieving agricultural sustainability through advanced plant tissue culture techniques.
