FACULTY OF SCIENCE

The decree to establish the Faculty of Science was issued as a part of Ibrahim

Pasha the Great University. The Faculty of Science opened its doors in a building

located in the Orman area in the province of Giza. In 1951, the Faculty was moved

to the area surrounding the historical palace of El-Za'afran and relocated in some of

the annexed buildings. Later on, the name of the university was changed to Ain

Shams and the first graduating class was awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in

1953. During the last fifty years, the Faculty of Science has witnessed several

progressive steps in the development of its buildings, facilities and educational

programs. The present premises of the Faculty of Science were partly opened in

1962 and were completed during the early seventies. A recent major addition to the

faculty was completed in 2000. This was a six-floor building fully equipped for the

expansion of the physics and biochemistry departments.The Faculty of Science

includes ten departments which provide teaching and training for the students

enrolled in different undergraduate and graduate programs. Presently, 5400 students

are enrolled in different bachelor programs in addition to 600 students enrolled in

graduate studies. The Faculty also hosts the pre-dentistry and pre-pharmacy

students and provides them with a solid foundation of basic sciences that enable

them to continue their education with success. Besides the scientific departments,

the Faculty comprises within its structure self-sustaining units and research centers

including the central laboratory and the scientific studies and consultation center.

The latter comprises twenty different units which provide scientific services to the

community, researchers and the industrial sector. The Faculty offers thirty-one

specialized programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in which the

student has the option of graduating in one department with a single-major degree


-3-

or in two departments concurrently with a double-major degree. The Faculty offers

graduate diplomas in twenty-nine different fields and specializations. It also offers

the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in fourteen programs. The degree

of Doctor of Science is also awarded by the Faculty for prominent achievers.
