Program Description

The Mathematics Department at University of Petra was established in conjunction with the founding of the university in 1991. However, the department’s activities were suspended in 2001. Recognizing the importance and necessity of mathematics, as well as the pressing need for its study at both local and regional levels, the university reopened the department in 2016. This was done to achieve two main objectives: supplying the job market with qualified personnel in mathematics and strengthening the mathematical and physical foundations required for scientific disciplines at the university. Accordingly, the department offers a bachelor’s degree program in mathematics and provides essential mathematics and physics courses required for the majors in the faculties of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Information Technology, and Pharmacy and Medical Sciences.​

·               Providing students with modern and highly efficient education in mathematics, consistent with the highest global standards.

·               Enhancing students’ abilities in abstract and critical thinking, solving problems logically, and constructing and writing proofs in an organized manner.

·               Enabling students to enjoy mathematical sciences and learn about their importance and necessity in life.

·               Enlightening students about the significance of scientific research in developing their local communities and humanity in general.

Bachelor’s with Good GPA, English score 5.5 IELTS or equivalent.
