The Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics was formed in 2012 as a result of the merger of the two Faculties - Faculty of Physics and Technology and Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics.

The Faculty prepares teachers in the following specialty areas: Physics, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Informatics, Technology and Entrepreneurship.

The Faculty also offers a system of additional specialties which enables BA students to apply for a second specialty.

The Faculty has nine educational laboratories and workshops, with their material and technical base being regularly updated, parallel to the development of science and technology. 

The Faculty cooperates with the Institute for Physical Research (IPR) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Armenia: MA students majoring in Optics do research internships in the IPR research laboratories. Also, part of BA and MA students write their graduate papers and theses under the supervision of IPR leading scientists. 

The Laboratory for New Materials of Quantum Electronics and Integral Optics opened at the Faculty in 2011. In the same year, the Research Laboratory for Nonlinear Optical, Photonic and Laser Materials was opened as a result of joint cooperation between the IPR and the University.

At the initiative of the Faculty, the University has also signed cooperation agreements with the Byurakan Observatory and Institute of Applied Problems of Physics of the RA National Academy of Sciences.

The Faculty consistently applies new learning technologies: it already has computerized audience-portal where students and staff members can use free electronic library, with more than eighty thousand scientific journals, publications and teaching-methodical manuals, etc.

Many subjects are taught with the use of computer technology which significantly increases the effectiveness and quality of the education process. Besides, laboratories are regularly refurbished and upgraded. 

The Faculty also has an observatory which is frequently visited by pupils of different schools. This, in turn, strengthens relations between the University and schools.

Through the introduction of new educational programmes and modernization of technical equipment and resources, the University attempts to provide qualitative progress in the education process.  

Exhibitions of students’ works, literary presentations and musical matinees, popular science lectures on different topics, including history and patriotism, are periodically organized at the University with the direct participation of the Faculty students.
