The School
The School of Mathematics and Computer Science is one of the most important schools in the university as it offers the most number of service subjects in mathematics and computer science to many
undergraduate and post graduate programs in the university.
The school has two main sections:
- Mathematics section
- Computer Science section.
And the school offers two undergraduate degree programs:
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
- Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics.
,and post-graduate research-based Masters and Doctorial degrees in computer science and mathematics respectively.
The undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics is now both offered on-campus and online.
The school has over 20 members of its academic teaching staff. Some of these are purely mathematicians, some purely computer science professionals, while a few are experts in certain areas of both mathematics and computer science.
The location of the school’s premises is between the Duncanson Hall building and the Electrical and Communications Engineering building.
Mission Statement
The mission of the School of Mathematics and Computer Science is to produce quality research and graduates in both Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and to give suitable service courses in Mathematics and Computing, to all the other schools in the University. The aim is to produce graduates in both Computer Science and Applied Mathematics of a high standard and comparable with similar graduates from other Universities in the Pacific Region, and who can provide the development, critical evaluation and application in their field for Papua New Guinea and the Pacific.
