About the Faculty

Faculty of Physical Sciences, University of Benin

You are welcome to the Faculty of Physical Sciences. The Faculty is as old as well as a new Faculty. An old Faculty because it was an integral part of the former Faculty of Science, which was the first Faculty in the University of Benin having started with the University in 1970. It is new in the sense that it is one of the two Faculties created out of the Faculty of Science in 2005.
