UNIUYO no longer runs a single Faculty of Science. The old Faculty of Science has been reorganised, and its departments now sit under three separate faculties: the Faculty of Physical Sciences, the Faculty of Biological Sciences and the Faculty of Computing. If you were admitted before the split, your department simply moved into one of these faculties.
Where the old Science departments are now
Faculty of Physical Sciences
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Mathematics
- Statistics
- Geology
- Geophysics
Faculty of Biological Sciences
- Botany & Ecological Studies
- Microbiology
- Biochemistry
- Animal & Environmental Biology (formerly Zoology)
Faculty of Computing
- Computer Science
- Cyber Security
- Data Science
All the science departments award B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D degrees. The Faculty of Science was first established in 1983 at the inception of the University of Cross River State, which became the University of Uyo in 1991; the split into these faculties reflects the university’s growth since then.
Entry requirements for the science faculties
Most science courses ask for five SSCE credits including English Language, Mathematics and the two or three science subjects relevant to the course. UTME candidates write English plus three subjects matched to the department (for example, Mathematics and any two of Physics, Chemistry and Biology). Check the exact combination before you register:
