The birth of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) began with the development of the Basic Natural Science (BNS) Institute at the Faculty of Medicine. This institution was one of the institutions developed according to the master plan of Universitas Airlangga in 1970–1979. Furthermore, from the development of this institution, supported by the availability of human resources (HR) and adequate equipment, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) was born. FMIPA was officially established through the Decree of the Rector of Universitas Airlangga Number: 6400/PT.03.9/T/1982 dated July 1, 1982, which was later stipulated by Presidential Decree Number: 56/1982 dated September 7, 1982 concerning the Organizational Structure of Universitas Airlangga.

In the academic year 1999/2000, a diploma program (D-1 and D-3) Information Systems was opened under the Department of Mathematics and in the academic year 2002/2003 a D-3 diploma program Instrumentation System Automation was opened under the Department of Physics, the three diploma programs were inaugurated based on the implementation permit based on the letter of the Director General of Higher Education No. 1325/D/T/2002 dated July 5, 2002.
