Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

The faculty was first established as the School of Actuarial Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Econometrics and Cybernetics (ASMEC), in 1966 at the Institut Teknologi MARA (ITM) Jalan Othman campus, Petaling Jaya. Students with good background in Mathematics were offered either one of the two external programmes which prepared them for examinations by the Institute of Statisticians and the Institute of Actuaries, United Kingdom. The school believes that managers should have good mathematical and analytical skills.

In 1969, the school took a bold step in introducing the Diploma in Computer Science, an internal programme. The school moved to a new and much bigger campus at Shah Alam in 1970. Soon after 1974 it was renamed the School of Mathematical Sciences and Computing. The external programmes were gradually replaced by the internal diploma programmes. Students had the opportunity to further their studies when the Advanced Diploma in Statistics was introduced in 1980, and also the offering of a joint degree programmes with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 1985.

The awarded degree was known as BSc Computer Science (Hons) (ITM-UKM). In the 80's the country faced an increasing demand for computer science graduates. As a result, the school started to offer the Diploma in Computer Science programme in the Institute's Pahang, Perak and Terengganu branches in 1985 followed by Sarawak (2000) and Negeri Sembilan. The Diploma in Statistics and the Diploma in Quantitative Sciences were also introduced in Kelantan and Perak campuses, respectively, in 2003.
