Welcome to the Faculty of Science!

Faculty of Science (FSc)

FSc is based in UTAR Kampar Campus. The establishment of FSc as a standalone faculty on the 15th of August 2009 saw the migration of facilities, staff and students from the preceding Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology (FSET).

Message from the Dean
