Natuurwetenskap

Die Fakulteit Natuurwetenskappe is ’n vooraanstaande fakulteit vir opleiding en navorsing in die fisiese, biologiese en wiskundige wetenskappe. Met agt departemente, verskeie navorsingsentrums, institutte en navorsingsleerstoele bied ons ’n stimulerende akademiese omgewing waar studente op alle vlakke – van voorgraads tot nagraads – met komplekse wetenskaplike uitdagings werk en aangemoedig word om volhoubare oplossings te ontwikkel.

Jy leer om krities te dink wanneer jy wetenskaplike uitdagings aanpak, gebaseer op ’n stewige grondslag in die natuurwetenskappe. Met toegang tot gevorderde analitiese toerusting en moderne laboratoriumfasiliteite kry jy volop geleenthede vir praktiese opleiding en die ontwikkeling van jou analitiese vaardighede – sodat jy hierdie uitdagings met insig en selfvertroue kan benader.
