Scientific Evaluation and Academic Rights
In the most recent national evaluation of scientific activity conducted in 2022, the Institute of Computer Science was awarded category A in the discipline of Information and Communication Technology. This distinction grants the Institute the right to confer doctoral and post-doctoral (habilitation) degrees in the discipline, as well as to participate in the activities of the Rzeszów University Doctoral School.
Educational Programmes
The Institute is authorized to deliver education at both the first-cycle level (3.5-year engineering programmes) and second-cycle level (1.5-year master’s programmes) in the fields of Computer Science and Computer Science and Econometrics. Both programmes have received positive evaluations from the Polish Accreditation Committee, confirming their academic quality and alignment with labour market needs.
Brief History
The Department of Computer Science was established on June 9, 2006, as a scientific and educational unit within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Rzeszów. On September 1, 2011, it was formally reorganized into an independent institute, continuing its activities within the same faculty until October 31, 2013. Following a faculty-wide restructuring, the unit reverted to departmental status on November 1, 2013.
Subsequently, on October 1, 2019, pursuant to a resolution of the University Senate, the Institute of Computer Science was reconstituted within the newly established College of Natural Sciences. As part of a comprehensive university-wide reform implemented in 2025, the Institute was incorporated into the Faculty of Exact and Technical Sciences.
Today, the Faculty offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Computer Science and conducts advanced research in areas such as Computer Science and Computer Science and Econometrics.
