The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science was founded in 1948 as part of Pedagogical Institute in Timișoara and initially it was a Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. In 1952 the Mathematics-Physics section was created, and in 1960 – the Geometry section.

In 16th October 1962 the Pedagogical Institute has been transformed in University of Timișoara. A Faculty of Mathematics-Mechanics was created within the University with the following specializations: Geometry, Mathematical Analysis and Mathematics-Physics. An important moment is the establishment of the Department of Computer Science in the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics in 1971.

Key information

In 1974 the Faculty of Mathematics-Mechanics and the faculties of Physics, Biology and Physical Education were merged into a Faculty of Natural Sciences, which existed until 1990.

Mathematics and Computer Science are priority fields of study that have led to the extraordinary technical development of our civilisation.
Our faculty is committed to offering its students:

Objective:

  • The opportunity to become specialists in both fields;

Objective:

  • Modern, highly regarded academic programmes at bachelor, master and doctoral level;

Objective:

  • Access to state-of-the-art equipment and excellent study and research conditions.

The academic community in our faculty is dedicated to strengthening the prestige of UVT and the Romanian university school.

In 1990 the Faculty of Natural Sciences was divided into the Faculty of Mathematics and the Faculty of Physics.

Since 2004 the Faculty of Mathematics has changed its name to Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Over the years, the following specialisations have operated within the faculty:
