All of these Departments offer post-graduate (Honours, MSc and PhD) degrees. The Faculty is home to over 3200 students, of whom approximately 1000 are post-graduates. Our academic programmes are delivered and supported by 350 Faculty academic and professional support staff.
In addition the Faculty houses the South African Institute for Advanced materials Chemistry (SAIAMC), the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI), the Institute for Microbial Biotechnology and Metagenomics (IMBM, the Institute for Water Studies (IWS) and the Centre for Radio Cosmology. The Faculty’s research agenda is driven by seven South African Research Chairs; Cosomology (Joint Chair with the Square Kilometre Array project), Cosmology with Multi-wavelength Data, Data Intensive Astronomy, Bioinformatics and Medical Genomics, Nanoelectrochemistry and Sensor Technology, and Nuclear Science. The Faculty also hosts the UNESCO Chair in Geohydrology.
