Prof. Cosmas Parwada
Welcome to the Faculty of Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Management at Midlands State University. Our faculty is committed to excellence in education, research, and community engagement to address the agricultural and environmental challenges of our time.
Through innovative teaching methods and cutting-edge research, we prepare our students to become leaders in sustainable agriculture and environmental management.
About Us
The Faculty of Built Environment, Art and Design is the tenth faculty in the university. The establishment of the new faculty marks a milestone in the university’s human capital development endeavour, addressing the skills shortages highlighted in the 2018 National Critical Skills Audit Report under the Engineering and Technology sector.
The faculty has the following departments which are well poised to contribute to the aspirations of NDS1 and the overall attainment of Vision 2030 goals.
The new faculty intends to tap into the Heritage-Based Development philosophy for the provision of modern rural and urban infrastructure through eco-friendly designs, locally produced materials, and the latest water and sewerage treatment processes. These interventions will result in world-class healthcare facilities, interactive learning spaces, and smart housing systems.
The faculty will operate from our Kwekwe campus. Our experts have the potential to design and oversee the development of an ultra-modern campus, based on the smart-city concept, housing futuristic student and staff accommodation and related amenities.
