Faculty of Science
Welcome to the center of experimental science, discovery and innovation.
At the faculty of science, we nurture the curious young minds into critical scientific thinkers who work out the needed solutions to the pressing community challenges. Through the diverse scientific disciplines offered, we inspire innovation through teaching and research to shape the younger scientists into the inquisitive thinkers the world needs. We invite students to walk and experience the interesting journey of exploration, inquiry, discovery and innovation in the areas of Biological Science, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. We boost of a large number of highly qualified and seasoned academic staff in all the fields of science offered. The location of the University in a region rich in minerals, rich flora and fauna plus the volcanic lift with a mountainous terrene all inspire scientific curiosity for innovativeness. We promote product development of our innovations and prioritize protection of the innovations through patents and intellectual property rights with clear revenue sharing policy.
We offer postgraduate training in; master of science in ecology and conservation biology, master of science in chemistry with different applied specialties, master of science in physics focusing on all areas of physics including astrophysics, space physics, electronics and renewable energy, and master of science in mathematics with interest data science and mathematical modelling. At undergraduate we offer a bachelor science in biotechnology, industrial chemistry, industrial and applied physics
Come learn, discover and innovate with our dedicated staff in an enabling environment.
