Message From The School Dean
Welcome to the School of Pure and Applied Sciences. The School aims at producing professional scientists for careers in industry, government and research institutes by imparting knowledge in the areas of Mathematics, Biological and Physical Sciences. Our programmes are designed to ensure that graduates are equipped with practical and intellectual skills relevant to the needs of the society and the job market.
We take pride in our well-equipped laboratories and highly competent academic and technical staff with extensive research experience and international collaborations. In 2017, the school received laboratory equipment from Seeding Labs’ Instrumental Access Programme. This complemented what the school already has, thereby providing a seamless platform for teaching and research in biological and Physical Sciences.
In addition, the school hosts the STEM centre, which is the 3rd STEM centre in Kenya established in partnership with STEMpower. The advanced facility boasts a Computer Lab, an Electronics Lab, a 3D printer, robotics equipment, and a soil testing kit. The primary objective is to provide students with a comprehensive curriculum that prepares them for higher education, research, and STEM-engineering focused careers.
Our School consists of three departments: –
- Department of Mathematics and Statistics
- Department of Physical Sciences
- Department of Biological Sciences
The school currently offers seven undergraduate programmes and four postgraduate programmes that include Doctor of Philosophy. We are working on developing more market driven programmes to meet the high demand for science based graduates.
The Dean’s Office will be glad to assist you in any way we can, and would be delighted to have you among us.
