The Faculty of Applied Sciences brings together science, technology, and practical skills across bioscience, physical science, food and nutrition science, and sport science domains. FOAS focuses on providing immersive learning, research opportunities, and partnerships to equip students with the competencies needed to adapt to evolving scientific and industry landscapes.
Many FOAS programmes directly support sustainability advancement through environmental science, biodiversity studies, food safety, health sciences, and scientific innovation that address global challenges related to resource conservation, climate resilience, and community well-being.
Programme: Diploma in Science
This course takes the form of a survey of selected groups of eukaryotes to demonstrate diversity of structure. Students will gain knowledge on the general characteristics of each phylum as well as will understand the concept of classification and taxonomy. Students will also be able to appreciate the close interrelationship between organisms and their environment based on ecological concepts.
Programme: Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Analytical Chemistry
This course introduces students to the basic concepts and the roles of many disciplines needed to understand the complexities of environmental problems. Pollutions of air, aqueous and marine, and land environments from anthropogenic sources are emphasized in depth. Anthropogenic sources and levels of chemical pollutants, the pathways along which they move through the environment and the toxicological effect they have on humans and other living creatures are discussed. The course also discusses the methodology how to carry out sampling, monitoring and analyzing of various types of environmental samples.
Programme: Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Analytical Chemistry
Topics on environmental technology control of pollution are such as water treatment, waste minimization, treatment and utilization; industrial effluent monitoring; strategies in the operation of waste water treatment plants; air pollutants emission control technology are presented in this course.
Programme: Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Bioscience with Chemistry
This course comprises the fundamental aspects of classification of eukaryotes to demonstrate diversity of structure. The general characteristics of each kingdom as well as the concept of classification and taxonomy are covered. It also comprises the aspect of ecology including population, community and ecosystem ecology. This is to appreciate the close interrelationship between organisms and their environment based on ecological concepts.
