It is with pleasure that I present the School of Science & Technology prospectus for 2016 Academic Year. Formerly known as the Faculty of Science, the School of Science & Technology provides a very dynamic environment for students pursuing a career in different areas of sciences and education, and for educators seeking to advance their qualifications. The School focuses on preparing individuals for professional practice at the school and the industries in the final year of studies with a balance of theory and practical education.

Recent multimillion kina grants given to the School have resulted in Ultra-Modern Science and Agriculture Laboratories with modern equipment facility for post graduate students to use, a well-equipped Modern Technical Workshop, Agriculture Farm, Computer Laboratory and a state of the art midwifery building and the resource materials. This is the support of Japanese, Australian and PNG Governments to fund these facilities and equipment over a decade time.
