We have over 110 full time, academic staff out of which 50 are Professors.
Our students comprise over 30% of the entire undergraduate population in the University and over 25% of the graduate population. We have 15 baccalaureate, 2 Masters-level programmes (M.Sc./M.Phil.) and the Doctor of Philosophy degree programme in all the departments, taught by seasoned Lecturers and digitally compliant non-teaching staff.
The Faculty thrives on industry, academic integrity and has penchant for staff and students welfare
A new approach in strengthening our academic unit is maintaining a sound relationship with our alumni and other important external stakeholders.
In our Faculty, we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and scholarly integrity. We foster a culture of critical thinking, creativity, and intellectual curiosity, where students and faculty staff are encouraged to push boundaries, strive for excellence and think out of the box.
Our faculty is passionate on producing graduates who are not only knowledgeable but also innovative, adaptable, and socially responsible. We promote a culture of innovation, where new ideas are welcomed, and experimentation is encouraged.
Our Faculty maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of academic dishonesty; antisocial behaviour or unscholarly attitude but ensuring that our degrees are earned through hard work, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence.
As a proof of our Faculty’s excellent strides in pursuits and products; we have produced three Vice-Chancellors within the last decade. The current Vice-Chancellor is from our Faculty ditto for the present Provost of the College of Postgraduate Studies.
