About the Department

The Mathematics Department at King Saud University is one of the oldest and largest mathematics departments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It was established at the founding of the College of Science in 1378 AH. In 1983, the department introduced a Bachelor's program for female students. The department also offers service courses to meet the needs of other colleges, serving approximately 6,000 students per semester across the university.

The department, through its faculty and staff, aims to implement the university's and the college's programs and objectives, providing a suitable educational environment for students by equipping laboratories and classrooms with the latest software and technologies related to mathematics and its applications. The department strives to prepare qualified individuals who will contribute to the comprehensive development witnessed by various sectors of the Kingdom.

The department's programs and plans are continuously developed to meet local and international quality standards, with a focus on preparing specialized scientific cadres that can contribute to providing the labor market with qualified graduates who will serve the community in the field of mathematics. In 2016, the department received academic program accreditation for the Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment.

To keep pace with scientific developments and meet the labor market’s demands, the department introduced a Bachelor's program in Actuarial and Financial Mathematics in 2013. This program has attracted many of the most distinguished students, with the first cohort graduating in 2017. They have since been employed in the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority and in the insurance and financial sectors.

Currently, the department offers Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Actuarial and Financial Mathematics. It also offers a Master's degree in Mathematics (course-based) and a PhD in Mathematics (thesis-based) in five specialties: Analysis, Algebra, Computational and Discrete Mathematics, Geometry and Topology, and Applied Mathematics.
