Welcome to the Department of Mathematics at COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Lahore Campus: a hub for mathematical education and research in Pakistan since 2005.

  • 33permanent, HEC-approved PhD faculty
  • 1500+BS graduates
  • 1000+MS graduates
  • 70+PhD graduates
  • 251–300QS World University Rankings

From foundations to a full programme

Guided by a vision to cultivate elite analytical minds, the department first focused on giving allied scientific fields strong mathematical foundations. As the demand grew for researchers and quantitative problem solvers, it widened its programmes step by step.

Today it ranks among the top institutions in the country, with a global ranking of 251–300 in the QS World University Rankings.

  1. 2005Department of Mathematics established
  2. 2008MS in Mathematics launched
  3. 2010PhD in Mathematics launched
  4. 2013BS in Mathematics launched

Academic excellence and strong faculty

The backbone of the department is its faculty: 33 permanent, HEC-approved PhD faculty members, the largest mathematics department in the surrounding region. Under their guidance, CUI Lahore has produced more than 1500 BS graduates, more than 1000 MS specialists and more than 70 PhD researchers.

Theory meets real-world application

Learning goes beyond textbooks. Hands-on workshops and seminars teach the computational tools that data-driven industries use:

  • MATLAB
  • Python
  • R

These sessions bridge the gap between abstract mathematics and practical, industry-ready expertise.

Global collaborations

The department connects local talent with the global mathematics community. It collaborates with the Mathematics section of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Italy, and through joint training initiatives, visiting professors regularly come to the campus to teach and co-supervise graduate students.

Visiting professors come from:

  • UK
  • Germany
  • France
  • Italy
  • Russia
