Mastering the
Laws of Reality.
Empowering the next generation of problem-solvers through high-level mathematical stimulations and advanced physical electronics research.
Department of Mathematical & Physical Sciences
BRIEF HISTORY — The Department of MATHEMATICAL and PHYSICAL SCIENCES is one of the pioneer Departments in the College of Science, Engineering and Technology of Osun State University, established at the inception of the University in September, 2007. The Department offers two degree programmes, namely:
- ✦ B.Sc. Mathematics
- ✦ B.Sc. Physics with Electronics
There are four functional laboratories in the Department that serve the academic programmes of the Department. The laboratories are well equipped to cope with teaching of students and for the use of academic staff for research purposes.
The students registered in the Department offer similar courses at the 100 level but start to offer courses in their chosen disciplines from the 200 level. At the 300 level Rain Semester, all students in the Department are required to proceed on six months Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) as part of their graduation requirement. The two programmes operate academic curricular that are tailored along the stipulations contained in the National Universities Commission (NUC) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards.
Fully equipped for undergraduate teaching and advanced academic research.
Industrial Integration
In the 300 Level Rain Semester, all students proceed on a 6-month SIWES placement, bridging the gap between theoretical physics/math and industrial application.
NUC BMAS COMPLIANTPhilosophy & Objectives
The philosophy, aims and objectives of the B.Sc. Degree programmes in Mathematics and Physics with Electronics are as follows:
Mathematics
Philosophy: Instill in students a sense of enthusiasm for Mathematics, an appreciation of their application in different areas and to involve them in an intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying.
- Provide students with a broad and balanced foundation of knowledge and practical skills in mathematics.
- Develop in students the ability to apply their mathematics knowledge and skills to the solution of theoretical and practical problems in mathematics.
- Develop in students, through an education in mathematics, a range of transferable skills and attitudes that are of value in mathematical related and non-mathematical related employment.
- Provide students with knowledge and skills base from which they can proceed to further in specialized areas of mathematics or multidisciplinary areas involving mathematics.
- Generate in students an appreciation of the importance of mathematics in an industrial, economic, environmental, technological and social context.
Physics with Electronics
Philosophy: Instill in students a sense of enthusiasm for Physics, and an appreciation of its application and relevance in different context.
- Provide students with a broad and balanced foundation of physics knowledge and practical skills.
- Involve the students in intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying.
- Develop in students the ability to apply their knowledge and skills in physics to the solution of theoretical and practical problems.
- Develop in students, through an education in physics, a range of transferable skills and attitudes that are of value in physics and other areas.
- Provide students with a knowledge and skills base for further studies in physics or multi-disciplinary areas involving physics.

Admission & Registry
General: At least five (5) O/L credits, two of which must be at Advanced Level or approved equivalents.
Registration Procedure
• Registration normally at semester start.
• Any course addition/deletion requires Coordinator consent.
• Withdrawal allowed before ⅓ of lectures; later withdrawal = 0F grade.
• Late registration permitted up to 4 weeks with penalty.
Duration of Programmes
Minimum: 4 years (3 years for direct entry). Maximum registration shall not exceed an additional 50% of the programme duration if student fails to graduate within the minimum years.
Graduation Requirements
To qualify for a degree of Osun State University, a student must: (i) complete & pass prescribed units including all compulsory courses, (ii) meet required & optional course standards, (iii) obtain the prescribed minimum CGPA.
General Admission Summary: All candidates must satisfy O/L credits (5 subjects max 2 sittings) + UTME score + University Post-UTME screening. Direct Entry candidates require 5 O/L credits plus 2 A-Level passes or ND (Lower Credit) / UNIOSUN Foundation.
NUC Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS)
Both programmes (B.Sc. Mathematics and B.Sc. Physics with Electronics) operate curricular fully aligned with NUC BMAS stipulations, ensuring national relevance and academic excellence.
Industrial Experience
Compulsory six-month Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) at 300 level Rain Semester. Students gain hands-on exposure in industries, research institutes, and tech firms, bridging theoretical knowledge with real-world applications.
