MSc Soil Science or Master of Science in Soil Science is a Post-Graduate degree program. Soil Science studies the outer shell of the Earth in which vegetable life can develop if nutrients are present. Masters of Science in Soil Science adopt methods and knowledge from other earth science specializations, such as geology and soil biochemistry, natural resource management, and sustainable development soil scientists are involved in agricultural production, assessment of environmental quality, and product toxicity. Soil experts can provide counseling for construction projects, drilling procedures, and forestry and agricultural organizations.
