Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences
The Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences which is one of the four foundation Faculties with which the University took off in 1990 comprises of five Departments: Departments of Pure and Applied Biology, Pure and Applied Chemistry, Pure and Applied Mathematics, Pure and Applied Physics and General Studies. Of recent, two new departments have been added: Departments of Earth Sciences and Science Laboratory Technology making a total of seven.
The Faculty serves as the
gateway to academic programmes in the University and provides the solid foundation upon which all other Faculties of Agricultural, Engineering and
Technology and Environmental Sciences build upon in later years of students'
professional career. The Faculty prides itself as having one of the best crop of scientist in the nation and obviously the most developed human resource potentials in the University. It is nestled in the building at the heart of the University Campus closely neighboured by the College of Health Sciences and Faculty of Environmental Sciences.
The Faculty operates in line with the University's philosophy to produce wellinformed graduates by providing students with the basic theoretical and practical aspects of sciences that would serve as a springboard to effective breakthrough in Agricultural, Environmental, Technological and Medical fields.
Academic Work
The students of the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences are exposed to professional-oriented curricula, with a very rich blend of theories and their applications. Hence the names of the Departments go with the appellation "PURE AND APPLIED ... ". The Faculty has also incorporated into its curricula a number of courses that will develop entrepreneurial skills in students during training so that they would be capable of being self-employed after graduation without necessarily looking for "white collar" jobs.
The highly technological nature of our programmes in the Faculty, results in the following objectives, among others:
To research into indigenous technologies so as to develop, modernize and relate them to the social, cultural, technological and economic needs of the people Oyo and Osun States in particular and Nigeria in general.
To undertake any activities and programmes appropriate for a University of Technology of the highest standard and to serve as a purposeful agency of development.
In carrying out the above objectives, the Faculty employs its skilled manpower of highly qualified lecturers, technologists and administrative staff in the various Departments who are always ready to assist and impact their knowledge on their students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
