Dean’s Welcome
I am pleased to welcome you to the College of Natural Sciences, Redeemer’s University and to our website which I hope you will find informative. The Redeemer’s University (RUN) is a faith-based private university owned by the Redeemed Christian Church of God and located at km 46 along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in South-Western Nigeria. The University was established in 2005 with three (3) Colleges which included the College of Natural Sciences.
Our College is home to four departments, namely: Biological,
Chemical, Mathematical and Physical Sciences which altogether mount nine (9)
programmes leading to the award of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) degrees in
Microbiology, Applied Biology and Genetics, Biochemistry, Industrial Chemistry,
Pure Chemistry, Industrial Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics and
Physics with Electronics. The curriculum of each programme has been carefully
crafted to reflect the vision of the University which is “To provide a future
generation of God-fearing, creative, innovative and inventive entrepreneurs
motivated to build and sustain a better Nigeria and a better world”.
Science has always been a quest to understand nature and how everything works. It is the engine that drives our modern world and is fundamental to everything we do. It has significantly impacted our society, economy, health and our technologically advanced life styles. To be a scientist therefore, you should be curious, critical, logical, intelligent and innovative. All these attributes are taken into account at the College of Natural Sciences, Redeemer’s University as we mould each and every one of our students to become the total graduate in science that he/she should be.
World-wide, academic research in the physical, chemical and
biological sciences has vastly broadened the horizons of mankind giving us a
deep insight into the structure of matter and of the universe. It has also
brought better understanding of the nature of life and its complexities.
Technology, the application of science has made fantastic advances that have
affected us beneficially in nearly every aspect of life: better health, more
wealth, less drudgery and greater access to information. On this premise, the
vision of Redeemer's University is to make the College of Natural Sciences a
centre of excellence in the various disciplines offered by the College.
Recently our Biological Sciences and Physical Sciences programmes were accredited by NUC to run postgraduate programmes, which will commence at the beginning of second semester of 2012/13 session. Other Departments will follow suit at the beginning of 2013/14 session. This development is an eloquent attestation to the high standard that the College has been able to build within its short life. It offers you to start your undergraduate studies at RUN and continue to the highest level attainable (PhD) in any academic institution in an atmosphere where your rights as a student is respected and protected.
