# About the Department of Applied Science​​

The Department of Applied Science was established on 1 April 2009, formerly known as the Foundation Studies Department (FSD). On 2 February 2009, UTP’s Management Committee approved the proposal to upgrade FSD to the Fundamental and Applied Sc​iences Department (FASD). Effective 1 May 2025, it has been renamed to the
Department of Applied Science​​ (DAS), accelerating UTP’s move toward becoming a research university.
