Academic Staff
Departments/Programs
The Faculty of Science comprises four academic departments:
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- Molecular Biology and Genetics
- Physics
The Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics, Molecular Biology and Genetics, and Physics
offer both graduate and undergraduate programs leading to B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
In addition, the Faculty contributes to interdisciplinary graduate programs that offer
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the areas of Materials Science and Nanotechnology and Neuroscience.
At the undergraduate level, the Faculty admits a small number of highly qualified
students to each program. The undergraduate curricula are designed to prepare the
students for graduate study by providing a strong background in the general area
of study with further opportunities of developing a deeper knowledge in various areas
of emphasis.
The graduate programs aim to develop students into scientists who can pursue original
and creative research. Graduate education in the Faculty is an inseparable part of
the research activity which aims to produce significant scientific output at the
international level.
The faculty also offers a number of service courses to students from other faculties.
