Basic Sciences Department

Department Overview

Basic sciences represent a fundamental part of human thought, endeavors, imagination, and creativity. Therefore, understanding science is essential to figure out how the natural world works as they provide an effective way of building mental discipline and encourage logical reasoning. In addition, basic sciences play a central role in understanding the contents of other school subjects such as engineering, management, economy, medicine, computer and social studies. For this reason, our department offers foundational supportive courses for students majoring in other disciplines. These courses, which are required by other departments include: Discrete Mathematics. Linear Algebra. Statistics, Quantitative Methods, General Physics 1 and General Physics 2. Our department currently does not award an academic degree. However, running our own program will be considered in our future plan.

Head of the Department's Word

Dr. Reem Musleh Hilal Al-Marashi Head of the Department of Basic Sciences

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Department of Basic Sciences at the College of Science and Theoretical Studies. The Department strives for excellence in education, scientific research, and innovation. We are committed to preparing qualified national talent equipped with the scientific knowledge and skills needed for the future, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Department plays a vital role in supporting the University's academic programs by offering foundational courses in mathematics, statistics, physics, and quantitative methods. These courses help students build a strong scientific foundation and develop analytical and critical thinking, problem-solving, and data-informed decision-making skills, enhancing their readiness for the labor market and rapid technological change.

We continuously improve our educational offerings by updating curricula, integrating modern educational technologies, and enhancing learning outcomes in line with scientific advances and academic excellence.

The Department also prioritizes scientific research and innovation. We encourage faculty members to publish research, participate in conferences and seminars, and develop research partnerships that address social, economic, and environmental challenges while contributing to sustainable development and community service.

As part of our plans to expand specialized academic offerings, the Department looks forward to launching a program in Applied Statistics in Data Analysis. The proposed program aims to prepare graduates with skills in statistical analysis and data science to support decision-making across sectors. It is planned to offer a bachelor's degree with intermediate exit pathways leading to a diploma, subject to the approved curriculum and relevant academic authorizations.

We believe that investing in knowledge and developing human capabilities are essential to building a sustainable future. Accordingly, we remain committed to fostering an academic environment that promotes creativity and excellence and strengthens the integration of teaching, research, and community engagement in support of the University's strategic goals.

In closing, I wish everyone continued success as we contribute to education, development, and prosperity in our nation.
