Vision and Mission

History

The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) is a renaming of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA). As the precursor to the establishment of FST, FMIPA was established through the Rector’s Decree of Airlangga University No. 6400/PT.03.9/I/1982 dated July 1, 1982, and was inaugurated by the Rector of Airlangga University on July 7, 1982. The existence of FMIPA at Airlangga University was affirmed by the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia No. 56 of 1982 dated September 17, 1982. FMIPA encompassed four undergraduate programs: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

With the development of information technology and societal needs for professionals in medical equipment and environmental expertise, new undergraduate programs were opened: Information Systems, Biomedical Engineering, and Environmental Science and Technology. The establishment of these three programs necessitated a reevaluation and subsequent renaming of FMIPA. Thus, on April 10, 2008, through the Rector’s Decree No. 3294/J03/OT/2008, FMIPA was renamed the Faculty of Science and Technology.
