95 Anniversary - NUS Faculty of Science

Dean's Message

Dear colleagues, friends and partners

As we celebrate the Faculty of Science’s (FOS)’ 95th Anniversary, it brings me great pleasure to reflect on the remarkable journey we have collectively embarked on.

From modest beginnings in 1929 as a single department in Raffles College, FOS has since grown to become one of the top in Asia and the world for science education and research.

On this momentous occasion, and beyond, I extend my gratitude to each and every one of our faculty, staff, students and alumni - past and present - for your many contributions which have shaped our faculty into what it is today. Our journey has been marked by triumphs and challenges alike, but through it all we have remained steadfast in our pursuit of knowledge and service to society.

As we come together to commemorate this special year, let us not only look back on our shared history and achievements, but also look forward to the next chapter together - one that is filled with promise and possibilities - as we recommit to the ideals of excellence that define us, and which have brought us so far.

Sincerely

Yeneng

Professor Sun Yeneng

This year the Faculty of Science marks 95 years as a leader in science education and research excellence. Join us as we celebrate this milestone, as well as the contributions and accomplishments of our Science community, partners, alumni and friends!
