Experimenting is a key component of learning science at Carleton. In the first year, your classes will typically have a lecture and a lab or tutorial component. Each lab will take three hours per week, so if you choose three of these lab courses, you could have nine hours of hands-on experimentation every week.

Our labs, tutorials, field courses and seminars are conducted in small classes, resulting in plenty of personalized interactions with professors, lab supervisors and fellow students.

First-year science students are encouraged to enroll in our unique seminar course, Seminar in Science, designed specifically to introduce you to the latest scientific issues and to help you develop the kind of communication, analytical thinking and research skills you will need for your science studies and your career....

Following the establishment of the University of Ilorin as a University College of the University of Ibadan by the Federal Government of Nigeria in September 1975, the Faculty of Science was one of three Foundation Faculties that started an Academic business on 23rd October 1976.

The five foundation departments were Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geology and Mineral Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. In the 1977/78 Session two more departments, Biochemistry and Statistics were added. The Department of Biological Sciences was split into three, namely Microbiology, Plant Biology and Zoology in 2000/2001 academic session. While Computer Science was transferred to Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences in 2008/2009 session. Currently, there are ten (10) programmes in the nine (9) Departments of the Faculty. The Chemistry Department has two programmes which are Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry.... [-]

The composite major in physical science is a major designed to provide a person with broad, rigorous training in both physics and chemistry with introductory courses in the earth sciences, as well. Physical science includes the branches of natural science and sciences that study non-living systems, contrasting the biological sciences. This major is especially appropriate for persons planning to teach physics, chemistry or general science in a junior or senior high school setting. The broad knowledge base obtained from this major and the faculty involved prepares a student for graduate school in Meteorology or employment in a variety of other occupations where an understanding of chemistry, physics or mathematics is needed....
