The Science Faculty was established in 1963, the same year as the University. On 1 June, the Faculty held its 50th anniversary banquet at Ho Sin Hang Hall, S.H. Ho College.

Welcome speeches were given by Prof. Fok Tai-fai, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Prof. Henry N.C. Wong, Dean of Science. Hundreds of teachers, staff, students, alumni, and friends attended the event and witnessed the Faculty's development in the last five decades through the sharing of precious photos and cherished stories. Each guest received a copy of the Science Faculty 50th Anniversary Commemorative Publication, unveiled on the same occasion, which encapsulated the history of the Faculty from establishment to the present, as well as stories of years gone by from teachers, colleagues, alumni and students. The publication was also selected as one of the 'Outstanding Greater China Designs (Graphic Design)' projects at the Hong Kong Art and Design Festival 2013.
