The Department of Statistics is involved in Spatial and Environmental Statistics, Statistical Shape Analysis, Multilevel Data Analysis, Bayesian Inference, and Official Statistics. Departments of Pure Math., Applied Math, and Statistics offer admission to students in M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs.

The Department of Computer Sciences is active in image processing, machine learning, data mining, and computational aspects of artificial intelligence

The faculty embraces a range of scientific disciplines organized in four different groups including manufacturing engineering, applied design, energy conversion, and aerospace engineering.

The Faculty of Medical Sciences was established in 1982. Doctoral courses began in 1988 by admitting 26 Ph.D. students in six fields of medical sciences including Biostatistics, Parasitology, Anatomy, Bacteriology, and Biochemistry. This faculty consists of 18 departments.

The Faculty of Engineering works in the areas of materials and mining engineering.

The Faculty of Natural Resources and Marine Sciences was founded in 1982 in the city of Noor. The faculty offers research opportunities in nine areas. The faculty includes the academic departments of Watershed Management, Forestry, Fishery, Wood and Paper Science, Environment, Range Management, Marine Biology, and Physical Oceanography.
