FACULTY INTRODUCTION

Faculty of Science is one of the SUMAIT University faculties since its inception in 2014 and was approved by Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU). Faculty of Science has two departments: Department of Natural Sciences and Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Within these two departments, undergraduate students can find many options to match their interests and qualifications. The faculty offers two types of programs: Bachelor of Science (BSc.) and Bachelor of Science with Education (BSc. with Education). The only BSc. degree without Education offered now is BSc. in Information Technology (BSs. In IT). The program that leads to a BSc. with Education is based on combinations of two main teaching subjects in addition to the Education subject. These combinations are Biology-Chemistry, Chemistry-Physics, Chemistry-Mathematics, Mathematics-Physics, Mathematics-Computer Science, and ICT. There is another combination which is Biology- Geography which is an interdepartmental combination under the faculty of science. The initial mandate was to qualify as many sciences secondary school teachers as possible, but the University is gradually diversifying to include non-teaching degrees in science such as IT. Our commitment is to provide our students with the highest quality of education to meet the demands of society, industry, and professions. We achieve that while engaging in relevant research and services. Hence our undergraduate students will have the opportunity to work in research undertaken by the faculty members; this will give them an edge for graduate school or in their chosen profession.
