About the Faculty

At the beginning of the academic year 1991-1992, the Faculty of Science welcomed its first cohort of students, who graduated in the academic year 1995-1996. Since its establishment, the Faculty of Science has been teaching basic science subjects such as mathematics, physics, statistics, and nutrition to various faculties of the university, with a distinguished group of faculty members.

In order to keep pace with modern developments in applied sciences and the requirements of the twenty-first century, and to emphasize the role of basic sciences in providing knowledge, the Faculty of Science introduced the Mathematics major from the Department of Basic Sciences in the academic year 2003-2004. The two were later separated at the beginning of the academic year 2022-2023, with the aim of preparing and training qualified personnel to contribute to addressing the shortage of qualified professionals in mathematics, and to supply the labor market with distinguished mathematics teachers equipped with skills that make them highly competent educators and prominent researchers in various fields of mathematical knowledge.

The Department of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering was established in the academic year 2000-2001 to become a unique nucleus at the local and regional level. The department grants a bachelor's degree and qualifies students in modern applied directions of this specialization, and also works to develop these directions in service of industrial, pharmaceutical, food, health, and agricultural projects, as well as public and private production sectors and various scientific centers, in addition to cooperation with local and international universities in the research field in various biotechnology specializations.
