Nahda University for Science and Technology
Faculty of Science
Fundamental and applied sciences across chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and biotechnology, supporting the university's health and engineering programmes.
Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science was founded in 2015 as the first faculty of the university.
The Faculty of Science was the founding faculty of, and opened together with, Nahda University for Science and Technology and remains the scientific base of the institution. It delivers the basic science components of the medical, pharmaceutical, veterinary and engineering programmes in addition to its own specialised degrees.
Study follows the credit-hour system. Students complete a common first-year foundation covering chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology and scientific computing, then declare a major from the second year in accordance with the faculty's internal by-laws.
All laboratory courses are delivered in groups not exceeding twenty students, under a documented laboratory safety code approved by the University Council.
