Welcome to the Faculty of Physical Sciences website. We aim to create an enabling environment where students thrive and gain comprehensive education and broadened scientific knowledge in order to equip them with skills that will benefit them in their future and professional ambitions.
The parent Faculty of Science was founded in 1962 at the establishment of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. It was split into Faculty of Physical Sciences and Faculty of Life Sciences in 2016. Faculty of Physical Sciences is made up of seven departments: Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics. Each of these departments offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes as detailed on their individual Websites. read more
