The Faculty of Science began as a single department in Raffles College in 1929, offering courses in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, and having ten students and three staff members. Since then it has evolved into one of the largest faculties in the National University of Singapore, with six departments, a wide range of programmes, some 4,600 undergraduates, 1590 part-time graduate students, over 270 research-active academic staff and 290 non-academic and administrative staff.

Sharing the vision of the nation and the university, the Faculty of Science focuses on knowledge and research and their application to the education, industry and enterprise of the nation. Of equal essence is the imparting of knowledge and life skills to students, so that Science graduates are not only conversant with their fields but also have the versatility to learn new trades and adapt to a variety of jobs in today’s knowledge-based economy.
