UNISA College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
The college is situated on the Unisa Science Campus in Johannesburg. Unisa has made science a priority through its initiatives, with the purpose of strengthening scientific capabilities and promoting research activities in agriculture and environmental sciences. Thanks to its cutting-edge lab facilities not frequently associated with open and distance e-learning schools, our students will have a space to expand their minds and do what every scientist lives to do – put theory into action.
