The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ISM) was established
as a department in the Faculty of Science when the University

into three branches, i.e., pure mathematics, applied
mathematics, and statistics.

For the 2018/2019 session, ISM offers the following four first
degree programs:

 Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

more opportunities for an undergraduate to major in the field of
mathematics according to his or her interests. All these
programs will assist to fulfill the vacancies of skilled workforce
in science and technology in the public and private sectors in
line with Malaysia's aspiration to become a developed nation.
