Programmes

The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) is a vibrant academic community, bringing together more than 60 faculty members, over 50 dedicated staff, and a dynamic student body of more than 1,050 undergraduate and postgraduate students. We offer a broad range of programmes across multiple scientific disciplines, designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in today’s fast-evolving world.

In addition to our undergraduate degrees, the Faculty offers a variety of postgraduate opportunities through the School for Graduate Studies and Research, including MSc., MPhil., and PhD. programmes tailored for advanced study and research.

We also offer exciting undergraduate joint degree programmes in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Humanities and Education, allowing students to explore interdisciplinary fields and expand their academic horizons.

For full details on our programmes, including joint majors, please refer to the Faculty Handbook.

At the undergraduate level, the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) offers a wide range of BSc. programmes covering all major scientific disciplines. Many of our foundational first-year courses are also delivered at partner Tertiary Level Colleges in Antigua and St. Lucia, broadening access to high-quality science education across the region.

Students have the flexibility to pursue a single or double major, tailoring their academic experience to suit their interests and career goals. Currently, the Faculty proudly serves a vibrant community of approximately 1,000+ undergraduate students, the majority of whom are enrolled full-time.

Through a longstanding partnership with the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), we also offer a specialized Major in Meteorology within the BSc. degree, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to thrive in this critical and evolving field.

The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) offers two (2) distinct pathways for postgraduate study, designed to meet a wide range of academic and professional goals.

Our taught Master’s (MSc.) programmes focus on specialized training and practical skill development, preparing graduates for leadership roles in their fields. For those interested in advanced academic research and scientific careers, we offer MPhil and PhD degrees, which provide opportunities for in-depth research under the guidance of our experienced academic staff.

Among our flagship taught programmes is the well-established MSc. in Natural Resource and Environmental Management (NAREM), which allows students to specialize in one (1) of four (4) key areas:

  • Climate Change

  • Water Resource Management

  • Land Management and Environmental Resilience

We also offer an MSc. in Information Technology, with specialized streams in:

  • Enterprise Systems

  • Mobile Applications

  • Web Development

Additionally, students seeking a shorter programme can pursue the Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology.

In 2014, the Faculty expanded its postgraduate offerings with the introduction of the MSc. in Biosafety, addressing the growing demand for expertise in this critical area of environmental and biological protection.

These programmes reflect our commitment to advancing knowledge, building technical expertise, and preparing graduates to meet the region’s and the world’s evolving scientific challenges.
