MESSAGE FROM THE DEANSCHOOL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYHearty greetings and welcome to the School of Science and Technology, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University. TheSchool is known for providing excellent educational opportunities in the areas of Mathematical, Life, Physical, Occupationaland Environmental Sciences anchored on Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The School also offers an Extended CurriculumProgram (BSc-ECP) over a four-year period as a way of enhancing student access and success. Recently, some major fieldswere approved by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). They consist of Biotechnology, EnvironmentalBiology, Environmental Toxicology as well as Honours streams in Information and Communication Technology.The School provides strong articulation from ECP programmes to doctoral degrees. A pilot study was recently conducted interms of an ultimate goal to entrench Work Integrated Learning (WIL) at the postgraduate level. In addition to theforegoing, we offer training in Science and Technology to students registered in the Schools of Oral Health Sciences, HealthCare Sciences, Pharmacy and Medicine. Career/work related prospects for students registered in the various streams in theSchool of Science and Technology are as follows:-1.Brewery, Food and Dairy Industries:2.Research Institutes such as Agricultural Research Council (ARC), Botanical Institute, Zoological Gardens,(Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, ICT).Medical Research Council (MRC), Water Research Commission (WRC), Council for Scientific and IndustrialResearch (CSIR), National Research Foundation (NRF).All streams (Biology, Environmental Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, ComputerScience, ICT, Biotechnology, Environmental Management and Toxicology).3.Government Departments: Departments of Health, Environmental Affairs, Trade and Industry, Science andTechnology, Communications, Public Enterprises, Transport, Education, Statistics South Africa.(Mathematics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Statistics, Physics, ICT).4.Financial Institutions: Banks, Insurance Companies, Stock exchange, Business Analyst.(ICT, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics).5.Telecommunications: Vodacom, Cell C, MTN.(ICT, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Biotechnology).6.Mining:(Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, ICT, Computer Science, Biology, Biochemistry, Environmental Biology, Statistics,Environmental Management and Toxicology, Biotechnology).7.Retail:(Statistics, ICT, Computer Science, Biochemistry, Biology).8.Artificial Intelligence:(Computer Science, ICT, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry).To give impetus to innovation and Entrepreneurship, the School plans to establish a Centre for Entrepreneurship, predicatedon multi-disciplinarity, internationalization and community engagement.Our staff members are suitably qualified to deliver on the various disciplines and to produce well-rounded graduates thatare in sync with the momentum of modern developments in Science, Technology and Innovation. A gradual move towardscommercialisation of research findings or products is envisaged because it is the key hinge in the overlap between researchand innovation.Considering the array of opportunities and career prospects in the School, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the School ofScience and Technology, the home for your future career.Prof CL ObiDean – School of Science & Technology4
