The pandemic has allowed us to re-imagine what a university should look like and how it should conduct its core business of research, teaching and learning, and community engagement. We have moved away from emergency online teaching, and we are transitioning towards a hybrid learning model, where high-quality, purposefully designed on-campus activities will complement a sophisticated online learning environment for a better education. It will provide you with more flexibility to complete your education without sacrificing the quality that UP, and the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (NAS), is well-known for.
