The Faculty of Science and Technology at Cave Hill came into existence with effect from the 1996-97 academic year as the result of the University's restructuring of Faculties and Departments. The Faculty evolved from the Faculty of Natural Sciences which commenced teaching at Mona in 1949, at St. Augustine in 1964 and at Cave Hill in 1963. In the undergraduate programme courses are offered in the subject areas of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Meteorology and Physics.
Plans are in train to extend the programme to Grenada.
The Information Technology programme is to be reviewed. Therefore, no new admissions to this programme will be accepted until further notice. Postgraduate teaching and research form an important aspect of the work of the Faculty. Programmes leading to the M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. are offered. A one-year course of study leading to the Certificate in Information Technology is also offered by the Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics.
