The Faculty of Science in the National University of Singapore, can be traced back to 1929 when Raffles College started classes in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics in Science education at the tertiary level. In 1949, Raffles College combined with King Edward VII Medical College in the establishment of University of Malaya, and two departments in the Biological Sciences, the department of Botany and the department of Zoology, were added in the Faculty of Science. Since then, the University has undergone several phases of expansion.
