BS-Lateral in Mathematics is designed for those students who want to pursue their study in the field of Mathematics after completing their 14 years education. Mathematics is important to all areas of our society and is a foundation for many different kinds of careers. Mathematical graduates are in high demand and can obtain well paid work in many areas, including teaching, investment banking and finance; the civil service; the pharmaceutical industry; and medicine statistics. Mathematics graduates are highly employable due to the advanced problem-solving, analytical skills and higher-level numeracy skills developed by studying this subject.

The program will afford the students:

• An opportunity to expand their knowledge in the field of mathematics and its applications by providing courses at graduate level.

• Preparation for a professional career in education, or in business, industry and research institutions.

• To continue their studies in mathematics, comprehensive knowledge in mathematics and its applications, as well as an opportunity to decide whether they are willing to become mathematicians.

• An opportunity to expand students’ knowledge in the several fields of mathematics and its applications by providing courses at graduate level.
• A unique academic experience via a high-quality international program.
• Preparation for a professional career in education, or in business, industry and research institutions.
• For those wishing to continue their studies in mathematics, comprehensive knowledge in mathematics and its applications, as well as an opportunity to decide whether they are willing to become mathematicians.

Applicants with a 2-year Associate Degree in the same discipline (from an HEC-recognized institution) will be able to join the 5th semester of a BS program. Those with an Associate Degree in a different discipline or a conventional BA/BSc degree (annual system) must complete a bridging semester/deficiency semester to address academic deficiencies.
