About Us

In the Faculty of Science, we are driven by a passion for discovery, innovation and providing a truly well-rounded education for our almost 5,000-strong student body.

Our distinguished faculty members are at the forefront of groundbreaking research, spanning a diverse range of disciplines across our 8 departments. We pride ourselves on creating a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration, where the intersections of different fields lead to new insights, innovations and solutions to complex challenges.

As part of our academic mission, we are committed to providing an exceptional learning experience. Our students engage in hands-on research, learn in state-of-the-art facilities, and are mentored by experts in their respective fields.

Whether pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies, our students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving scientific landscape.

Underpinning all of this is a commitment to equality, inclusivity and diversity; recognizing that a wide range of perspectives and backgrounds enriches the scientific community. We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported in their academic journey.
