Introduction
The Ministry of Defence /Namibian Defence Force (MoD/ NDF) is one of the most important agencies created by the Government of the Republic of Namibia at independence in 1990. The Ministry is entrusted to ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country by guarding against external aggression, both conventional and unconventional; prevent violation of Namibia’ territorial integrity and provide assistance to civil authorities in guarding and protecting government buildings and key installations as provided in the Defence Act of 1990.
In view of this, and in order to safeguard peace and sovereignty, the nation requires highly trained military officers in both military and civilian professional skills. To perform this responsibility effectively, the MoD embarked on modernizing its operations through education and training. For that reason, the MoD initiated professional military academic programmes in collaboration with the University of Namibia, the first of its kind in the country, to provide much needed professional skills in the defence force.

Faculty Introduction
The Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences is an internationally recognised citadel of knowledge and a robust ecosystem for discovery and innovation, offering courses at Diploma, BSc Honours, MSc, and PhD levels to Namibian, SADC, and international students. It is one of the four new Faculties at the University of Namibia (UNAM). The Faculty has modern physical infrastructure and facilities for teaching and research.
Headed by the Executive Dean, Prof. Ndeyapo Martha Nickanor, the headquarters of the Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences is at Neudamm Campus, about 32 km from the UNAM Main Campus in Windhoek.
After the restructuring of UNAM in 2021, the Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Engineering, and Faculty of Science were merged into one new Faculty, the Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences.
The strategic objective of the Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences is to champion new skills development, collaborative inter-disciplinary research, and innovation efforts in the fields of agriculture, engineering, and natural sciences in order to generate new knowledge-based solutions for inclusive and sustainable development in Namibia.
The mission of the Faculty of Agriculture, Engineering & Natural Sciences is to provide expertise for increased food production, industrialization, and product development in Namibia (and beyond) through quality teaching, research, innovation, and community engagement.
