Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology

FEST was formed by merging the Faculty of Science (established on August 3, 2013) and the Faculty of Engineering Technology (originally the Vocational Training Center, formed on October 14, 1975) on January 1, 2018. This merger created a unique and dynamic learning environment, combining the strengths of both institutions.
We are dedicated to providing students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed for successful careers. Our experienced faculty uses cutting-edge teaching methods and technologies to create engaging and enjoyable learning experiences.

FEST offers state-of-the-art facilities, including modern classrooms and labs equipped with the latest technology, giving students hands-on experience and practical skills. We also encourage academic research, with faculty members recognized nationally and internationally for their work.

Assalamalaikum.

I am pleased to welcome you to the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology. We are the first institute to start technical education in this country. FEST has its beginnings in the Vocational Training Centre (VTC) established by the Government in 1975 and is the second oldest institute of MNU. We are the first to offer Information technology and Computer science, Architecture, Interior Design and Engineering degrees in the Maldives.

We have well equipped labs and our courses are designed according to the national needs of the country. Our graduates are working on leading technical jobs in the industry and some are even working / pursuing PhD in well reputed intuitions. Our computer science and Information technology degree subjects are aligned with the CISCO curriculum. Students after completing the networking subjects will get an international certification.

I am proud to say we have a team of highly skilled lecturers who are dedicated to teaching and research. Our labs are equipped with the latest state of the art equipment’s and students will be given hands on training on all their courses. Our teaching is not only limited to classroom teaching. We do have a lot field work within Maldives so that when they graduate they can take on the challenges they face within their work environment.
