Welcome to the Fascinating World of Science and Technology!

Step into a world where innovation, creativity and imagination converge. Science offers a rare and exciting opportunity to craft solutions for real-world challenges and tackle complex theoretical questions - using cutting-edge technologies and scientific methods.

                                                   
Science is everywhere. It shapes every aspect of life - agriculture, politics, law, art, music, information technology, economics, the environment, social media and healthcare. In every field, science provides solutions, sparks the development of new techniques and opens doors to emerging careers - both within the disciplines it serves and in science itself.

By pursuing science, you’ll build essential skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, logical reasoning and analytical abilities. These versatile skills not only enhance your career prospects but also enrich your everyday life.

At the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), we are committed to nurturing these qualities both inside and outside the classroom. Among our signature initiatives are:
 

• FST Innovation (FINO) Award: Celebrating creativity and forward-thinking solutions among students.
• Faculty Associations/Clubs: Providing opportunities for networking, leadership development and hands-on learning beyond the classroom.

These initiatives help you grow personally and professionally, sharpening both your technical knowledge and soft skills.

Our academic staff continue to lead groundbreaking research and innovation, making significant contributions to science, technology and society at large.

Of course, science at FST isn’t all about work! In past years, we’ve hosted exciting events like FST NERD Day - a fun celebration of science featuring competitions such as the “Best Dressed NERD” contest. Visit our social media pages to see photos from these memorable events:
