Departments and divisions
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences consists of 8 departments, which provide the foundations for its teaching and research activities:
- Department of Biology
- Department of Chemistry
- Department of Earth Science
- Department of Informatics
- Department of Mathematics
- Department of Molecular Biology
- Department of Physics and Technology
- Geophysical Institute
In 2007 Centre for Geobiology was established at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. This is a national Centre of Excellence and its goal is to be a central hub for international research and research training in this new scientific frontier. New methodologies will be developed that may be used to search for signs of early life on Earth and life on other planets. This Centre of Excellence will evaluate the deep biosphere, its environment, its ancient roots, how it is sustained by energy from inorganic water-rock reactions, and how such reactions may form essential building blocks of life. Centre for Geobiology is a collaboration between the Department of Earth Science and the Department of Biology.
Researchers at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences are also involved in two other Centre of Excellence:
