MASTER IN TROPICAL SOIL SCIENCE

Master in Tropical Soil Science is a program specifically designed with a focus on the chemical, biological, physical, and fertility aspects of tropical soils, as well as on the methods of conservation, survey, and classification of tropical soils. 

Science & management of tropical soils

Tropical soils, such as those in Malaysia, are highly weathered, have an imbalance of nutrients, and are often heavily eroded due to high rainfall.

Therefore, countries with tropical soils need a highly skilled workforce in sustainable tropical soil management so that soil fertility can be protected, maintained, and improved to obtain high and sustainable crop yields. 

Focusing on economic aspects

Master in Tropical Soil Science is a program specifically designed with a focus on the chemical, biological, physical, and fertility aspects of tropical soils, as well as on the methods of conservation, survey, and classification of tropical soils.

Emphasis is also given to the economic aspects of resources, precision agriculture, and agricultural biotechnology. 

Lifelong career development

The goal of the Master in Tropical Soil Science program is to produce graduates with in-depth knowledge and are highly skilled in the field of sustainable tropical soil science that emphasizes on environmental, socio-cultural, and economic aspects.

Graduates will also be efficient in tropical soil management and research and are able to apply lifelong learning skills in their career development, either in the public or private sector.
