Vision
Department of Basic Sciences
Basic Sciences are one of the oldest academic
disciplines. They are considered the basis in learning
and understanding the other science subjects. Basic
Sciences contribute in all branches of Engineering,
Industry, Management, and Metrology and Research.
We can bring revolution in our Education, Industry
and latest Modern Technologies, if we have good
scientists in Basic Sciences.
The aim of Department of Basic Sciences is to pursue
excellence in teaching and research by developing
appropriate curricula and teaching practices,
acquiring talented faculty and providing an
environment conducive to teaching and learning. The
department provides service to the entire University,
from undergraduate students to graduate students in
Basic Sciences courses and other departments which
need to upgrade the quantitative skills in Basic
Sciences of their students.
The department has also signed MOUs with research
organizations, such as National Centre for Physics
(NCP), Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied
Sciences (PIEAS).

establish an ethically motivated,
committed, hardworking,
knowledgeable and sensible
society.

Department of Mathematics
Mathematics is one of the oldest academic
disciplines of the basic sciences. It is considered
the basis in learning and understanding the
science subjects. This is why it is called “Mother
of All Sciences”.
Mathematicians can contribute in diverse fields,
such as in all Basic Sciences, all branches of
Engineering, Industry, Management, and
Metrology in Teaching and Research. We believe
that if we have good and Competent
Mathematicians, we can bring revolution in our
Education, Industry and latest Modern
Technologies.
The department endeavours to educate its
students by providing them exposure to real-life
problems, and inculcating in them a problem
solving approach. They are encouraged to
explore, solve problems, break new grounds and
cultivate leadership qualities.
The department aims to establish and promote
Riphah as a leading University for teaching and
research in Mathematical Sciences both within
Pakistan and Internationally.
Department of Physics
The M.Phil. / M.S. in Physics is designed primarily
for the students who want to prepare for the
career path which takes advantage of the diverse
and expanding opportunities in industrial,
strategic organization and universities. The
program provides a solid foundation in the
concepts of physics as well as giving the
students the experience and understanding of
application of these concepts. M.Phil / MS
physics is minimum 2- years (4- semester)
master degree program comprising 50 credit
hours in total.
Department of Statistics
Statistics conceive pragmatic solutions in the
presence of uncertainty. Think critically particularly with respect to conceiving multiple
explanations for observed phenomena (this is
key in the understanding of most statistical
concepts e.g. statistical testing, inference,
design, model construction and diagnostics etc),
and choosing between these:
Appropriate data collection; Formulate analysis
suitable to answer their own or their clients'
questions, both under ideal data or within the
constraints of available data; Identify data
limitations with respect to their ability to answer
specific questions; Convey potentially complex
results simply every nation for the development
of its Socio-Economic setup. To meet such
challenges department of statistics started
M.Phil classes in 2001. The study of M.Phil is
based on two years training. During the first &
second semesters, students undergo the course
work and in their remaining year, they are given
research task. Moreover, this M.Phil. is a leading
Programme towards Ph.D.
Introduction
M.Sc programs are designed for students who wish
to continue their studies with rummaging deeply in
the particular fields or subjects. M.Sc programs are
offered to provide students with first hand
knowledge,
stregthened
concepts
and
exemplifying experiments to nourish their brains
with formulating education of masters level.
Students are taught with the tempting and true
techniques of teaching which add to student’s zest
of learning and exploring in the following fields:
•
Mathematics
• Physics
• Statistics
Fee & Scholarships*

The graduate program is backed by the
intensive research in a wide range of fields.
This places the department in contact with
many modern users of Mathematics, making
the program both relevant and up to date.
However, the largest concentration of the
research efforts within the Department of
Mathematics would be in three disciplines:
Pure Mathematics (Algebra, Topology, etc),
Applied Mathematics (Fluid Mechanics, etc)
and Computational Mathematics (Numerical
Analysis, Financial Mathematics, Integral
Inequalities, Modelling and Simulation and
Computational Fluid Dynamics, etc)

MATHEMATICA, SCIENTIFIC WORKPLACE, etc are
available for students and researchers. The
pervasive network provides access to local and
national electronic information services, library
catalogue, email, virtual learning environments,
and all the other facilities needed for learning and
research.
Work Shops, Short Visits and
Conferences
In addition to academic activities the
department also organizes several events.
Such as:
• The department has the honour of
organising National / International
workshops on mathe matics and related
topics.
• The department also arranges short visits
of Foreign professors for series of lectures
for research students and collaboration
• Department plans to arrange Conferences
at National and International levels in
collaboration with different research
organisations
Teaching and Research Faculty
Department of mathematics has well qualified
and experienced faculty. It also has access to
foreign faculty members through the HEC foreign
faculty hiring program. The faculty at department
of mathematics is not limited to a narrow range of
mathematical specialties; the specializations of
the faculty are spread throughout the
mathematical spectrum, so students can inquire
about any mathematical topic.
