Department of Horticulture and Landscape Design

The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering is one of the most important departments of the Main College of Agriculture since its establishment in 2005. The department includes an elite group of distinguished faculty members who graduated from leading universities and have diverse research interests, which gives the department an opportunity to deal with the current and future requirements of society. The department also seeks to Scientific communication with colleges, scientific institutes, and other public institutions, local and foreign. In this field, the department welcomes visiting professors from other universities for scientific exchange and the exchange of experiences and knowledge. It also welcomes postgraduate students from inside Iraq. The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering was opened on 10/1/2005 under the name of the Department of Horticulture, and in 2009 the name was changed to the Department of Horticulture and Garden Engineering. The new name came with the aim of shedding light on one of the scientific specializations related to the Department of Horticulture, which is the specialty of garden coordination and design. This is because the reality indicates a severe shortage of cadres capable of developing designs for gardens and following the scientific foundations and rules in garden landscaping. The importance of the department lies in preparing specialized agricultural engineering and technical cadres competent in the field of horticultural sciences and garden engineering and spreading horticultural culture in society, as well as the department’s interest and focus on Special educational and research activities in agricultural sciences, which in turn play an important and fundamental role, especially in countries that are witnessing development and change in the agricultural sector in our beloved country. To achieve this, we have resorted to paying attention to preparing and graduating teaching staff specialized in horticultural sciences and specializations (ornamental plants, fruit production, vegetable production). (Plant tissue culture) by establishing postgraduate/master’s studies from the year 2013 to 2024, in addition to working hard to create a doctoral study in the scientific department for the year 2024-2025. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. Kefaia Ghazi Saeed.
