Department of Mathematical Sciences started as the Department of Computer Science in 2005 as one of the pioneer departments of the University. That is, initially the Department started-off with a single programme: Computer Science. However, Mathematics courses and lecturers have been the backbone of the department. Subsequently, the National Universities Commission (NUC) approved the take-off of B.Sc. Mathematics as a major of its own. Consequently, University Management approved the merging of the two programmes to form the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Recently, NUC also approved the take-off of Software Engineering programme within the same department. Thus, the Department of Mathematical Sciences is the mother of three highly-sought programmes from the College of Natural and Applied Sciences.
The programmes are:
B.Sc. Computer Science
B.Sc. Mathematics and
B.Sc. Software Engineering
In addition to the above undergraduate programmes, the Department also runs two post-graduate programmes: (i) M.Sc./Ph.D. Computer Science (ii) M.Sc./Ph.D. Mathematics. Also, coming soon is Post-graduate Diploma (PGD) in Computer Science as a bridging programme leading to M.Sc. Computer Science.
