The Faculty of Engineering within the then University of Rhodesia was established in 1973 with technical, material and financial support from the British Overseas Development Authority (ODA). Most of the lecturers at the inauguration were drawn from the University of London.

This was in response to a growing demand for training local technical expertise who would play a pivotal role in the process of industrialization and development. This role is increasing in importance as Zimbabwe strives to increase the contribution of Engineering to the Gross National Product.

The Environment has been degrading at an alarming rate mainly due to the unsustainable development and the unsustainable use of natural resources. Although environmental conservation has developed significantly over the past few decades, environmental problems have been evolving both in terms of nature and scale. Methods of resolving many environmental problems remain controversial.

The MPhil program aims to train postgraduate students to conduct independent research in Marine Environmental Science. Submission and successful defense of a thesis based on original research are required.

Research Foci

The Environment Science Programs have three main research themes as follows:... [-]
