In this year, AU established a specialized institute for \u00a0interdisciplinary science for postgraduates\u00a0 in conjunction with UNESCO and UNDP to encourage researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds\u00a0 to interact and work together . Since then, AUis developing new programs and projects to develop areas of interdisciplinarity according to scientific international standards. \u00a0The Institute of Graduate Studies and Research\u00a0 (IGSR) structure includes \u00a04 departments: Environmental sciences department, Material sciences, Biotechnology and Information technology departments. The institute\u00a0 is equipped with the most advanced equipment and specialised labs and has the following specialised interdisciplinary programs
     
  • On the undergraduate level, the Faculty of Science established \u00a0two interdisciplinary programs that were extended to include postgraduate. These are the Department of Oceanography in the mid-seventies, and the department of Environmental sciences in the mid-nineties. Both departments deliver interdisciplinary programs with high employability rates of their graduates.
  • Alexandria University\u00a0 is continually progressing in establishing new programs to cope with the advances in education and research (Table Below) . Recently AU established 27 programs on both the undergraduates and postgraduates levels. Of these programs, 10 programs are considered t be interdisciplinary in nature (Bold type in the table below).
