The Mathematics Department, an integral part of the Centre for Foundation Studies at IIUM, has been shaping minds since its inception in June 2010. With a dedicated team of 24 members, including 23 academics and 1 administrative assistant, we are committed to the academic growth of our students. Our accomplished faculty members specialize in delivering Mathematics, Statistics and Introduction to Mathematics for Computing courses, catering to a diverse range of Sciences programs, such as Allied Health Science, Biological Science, Dentistry, Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Physical Science.
Our department serves as a preparatory platform, equipping students with essential knowledge and skills in Mathematics and Statistics. Graduates are well-prepared to continue their academic journey at either the Gombak or Kuantan Campus Kulliyyahs. The meticulously crafted curriculum of our Mathematics and Statistics courses is tailored to meet the unique requirements of these Kulliyyahs, ensuring a seamless transition and a strong academic foundation.
There are two programmes under the supervision of Department of Mathematics which are Biological Science and Physical Science programmes.
