Welcome to SPAS...

Dear Parents and Students, 
Welcome to the School of Pure and Applied Sciences...(SPAS)

Our mission is to enable all students to become self-directed and self-reflective learners, and strengthen the Capacity of the Faculty in Teaching, Research and Industry linkages, and establish the School as key players in the International Scientific Community in the relative research fields. In a climate of trust, we engage them in opportunities to improve their academic performance, develop their interpersonal skills, and achieve an understanding of their roles and responsibilities as citizens of our democratic society. We provide a nurturing environment in which students feel safe to explore new challenges while still knowing there are caring, supportive adults to join in celebrating their success and guiding them through difficult times.

The School’s Departments attach major importance to research, as a key path through which the School’s foremost mission- Learning, is accomplished. Research also enables Our Science to contribute to industry and, more generally, to the Pwani (Coast) and Kenyan Society at large, in sectors such as Economy, Education and Training and Health among others. Our School also recognizes the significance of basic, as well as of applied research which is a key pillar in Industrial and Socio0economic development.

SPAS is one of the Schools at Pwani University in 2007, the school of Pure and Applied Sciences (SPAS), is engaged in numerous collaborative projects with various institutions including Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI-Wellcome Trust, Kilifi) (Bioinformatics, Immunology and Vector research), University College Dublin (UCD Ireland, on non-invasive approaches to Wildlife monitoring); University of Glasgow UK (Immunology, Genomics and gene sequencing training); University of New South Wales, Australia (GOAP Ocean Accounting, Kilifi Kenya) among others.

The School offer various undergraduate degree and postgraduate degree programmes in its Departments, leading to Master's and PhD degrees, that are fully compatible with global standards, thus producing young scientists who are well trained and able to meet the current and future challenges in science.
