FACULTY OF SCIENCE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & TECHNOLOGY e Faculty of Science & Technology (FST) was formed in August 2012 by the demerger of the former Faculty of Science & Agriculture. e FST is now in the rebuilding process and is working towards becoming one of the leading faculties at e UWI, due to the importance of science and technology in today’s world. e FST consists of ve Departments: Chemistry; Computing & Information Technology; Mathematics & Statistics; Life Sciences; and Physics.

Teaching And Learning e FST is the most diverse in terms of the number of Undergraduate programmes oered. During the period under review, the Faculty revised its curriculum to allow for the delivery of 10 BSc Special options, eight majors, and 19 minors. At the Postgraduate level, the FST oers one Post-graduate diploma, PROFESSOR ve taught MSc and 10 MPhils and PhDs.
