ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Mathematics was established in 1979 as one of the main academic departments at the University College of Bahrain for Arts, Sciences, and Education. Following the merger of the University College with Gulf Polytechnic in 1986 to form the University of Bahrain, the Department of Mathematics became part of the newly formed College of Arts and Sciences. In 1990, the College of Arts and Sciences was split into the College of Arts and the College of Science, with the Department of Mathematics becoming part of the latter.
The Department of Mathematics is a major center for mathematical research and education in the Kingdom of Bahrain. By 2024, the Department had a total enrollment of 897 students across three undergraduate programs. It serves around ten thousand students every year and features recognized faculty with outstanding accomplishments in teaching, research, and service.
