STUDENTS' PROJECTS

 

STUDENTS’ PROJECTS 

            Final year students continue to display outstanding capability to undertake research of a very high calibre.  Final project documents also indicate that their written communication skills are improving and are of a standard expected from graduates. 

            Students are continually guided and co-supervised by lecturers and experts both on and off campus, from agencies and organizations such as NARI, GRDB, Guysuco, Ministry of Fisheries, Crop and Livestock and the Guyana Forestry Commission.  The Faculty would like to express its heartfelt thanks to both the staff and the management of these institutions.  We continue to look forward to their support and assistance for our programmes.
