The Department was established in 1975 as a part of the University College of Engineering, Taxila and is as old as the institution itself. With its inception as an independent University in October 1993, the Department has been placed under the Faculty of Basic Sciences and Humanities. The faculty of Basic Sciences contributes education in the subjects of Humanities, Physics, Chemistry, Social Sciences and Mathematical Sciences. The Faculty is committed to providing the best possible facilities in all these subjects. To achieve this goal, the faculty is providing proper education and training with an analytical and practical approach in a stimulating intellectual environment. We prepare the students for challenges of the modern world and imbue them with a competitive spirit. The basic sciences are the precursors to the highly competitive professions of Computer Sciences, Engineering and many applied scientific disciplines. Our aim is on the acquisition of practical knowledge in the relevant science laboratories.

Faculty of Basic Sciences also initiated his Undergraduate programs from Fall-2022. The main purpose of this program is to offer high quality instructions and research to cover all its aspects of graduate students to enhance their skills in Mathematics, Physics and allied Sciences.

University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila is rich in terms of excellent faculty in all of its Engineering departments. Each and every one of them is serving the country and university while producing competent engineers and research work of international repute in all disciplines. However, there is a perception of lack of inter-disciplinary research activities among the departments more specifically Engineers and Scientists which may affect the overall repute of the UET, Taxila in the long run. Moreover this will improve the intra-disciplinary research activities between all departments of the university. Therefore, keeping in view the importance of inter-disciplinary research and Engineers-Scientists effective collaboration to improve the overall ranking of the university within the country and have better utilization of research potential of Faculty members of Basic Sciences.

All the programs which the university will offer will have both direct and indirect impact on the social and economic development of the region.
