Dean's Message

With great honor and heartfelt appreciation, I extend my warmest welcome to all students, faculty, partners, and esteemed stakeholders of the College of Natural Sciences. Since our establishment in 2017(2010 E.C.), the college has grown steadily in both size and capacity. We started with four departments and have now expanded to eight, offering quality education in science fields that are vital to national development.

Currently, we run eight undergraduate (B.Sc.) programs and offer Master of Science (M.Sc.) programs in 14 specializations across the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. These programs are designed to provide students with strong theoretical knowledge and practical skills that prepare them for careers in teaching, research, industry, and public service.

Our college is committed to building an environment where students are supported to learn, grow, and contribute to society. We promote hands-on learning through laboratories, fieldwork, and research projects. Our academic staff are dedicated professionals who guide and mentor students throughout their studies.

In addition to teaching, we are actively involved in community service and problem-solving research. We also seek to strengthen partnerships with government institutions, communities, and other universities to improve the quality and relevance of our education.

I invite all our stakeholders to support and collaborate with us as we work to advance science education and contribute to the development of our country.
