Scientific research is conducted in cooperation with other higher educational institutions. The Department of Computer Sciences cooperates with universities of Ukraine and Europe (LNU; NU "Lviv Polytechnic"; Lviv Branch of the European University; Center for Mathematical Modeling of the Institute of Applied Problems of Mechanics and Mathematics named after Ya. S. Pidstrychach of the National Academy of Sciences in Lviv; Ukrainian Free University , Munich, GDR; University of Economy in Bydgoszcz, Poland; Wyższa Szkoła Społeczno-Gospodarcza w Przeworsku, Polska), performing joint research works and participating in conferences, round tables, etc. Also, many teachers of the department participate in professional associations in their specialty, namely, they are certified members of the public organization "Ukrainian Scientific and Educational IT Society", Scientific Society named after T. Shevchenko.

A rather effective direction of the department's work is cooperation with the leading companies of the Lviv IT cluster. Thus, within the framework of this cooperation, teachers participate in scientific and practical conferences, seminars and workshops, where they gained practical experience in the field of modern information technologies (SoftServe, GlobalLogic, EPAM, Alix, TeraConsult).

The lecturers of the department also provide scientific consulting for companies such as Softserve, InterLogic, Alix, TeraConsult and others, excursions and open classes are held for applicants based on these companies.

Knowledge, experience, and practical work are carried out by the teachers of the department in the framework of research work: "Development and use of software tools for solving applied problems using modeling methods, object-oriented programming, and artificial intelligence" (supervisor, Prof. A.V. Kostenko).

The scientific activity of the department is aimed at the development and practical implementation of the results of scientific and research works, the improvement of the qualification level of the teaching staff and the formation of the creative potential of young scientists, their involvement in scientific research and the presentation of the results of their own scientific work. Yes, this is facilitated by the presence of the head of the department, Assoc. Kostenko A.V. copyright certificates: on copyright and related rights No. 58281 dated 01.26.2015 for the database "Directory of Plant Names of Ukraine" and on copyright and related rights No. 63470 dated 11.01.2016 for the computer program "Geographic Information System of Plant Areas of Ukraine".

Scientific work of students of higher education is an important part of the educational process. All teachers of the graduation department take an active part in the research work of the applicants, supervise scientific reports, individual tasks, course and bachelor's projects.

Students of the department participate in competitions of scientific works. In 2021, students of the "Computer Science" specialty took part in the All-Ukrainian competition of student scientific works:

Bar Svyatoslav with the work "Design and implementation of a website for a higher educational institution";
Nadia Gabriella with the work "Development of an online gift store".

In 2023–2024, students took part in the All-Ukrainian competition of student scientific works:

Tkachuk Arsen with the work "Analysis and visualization of data using the Python language";
Rynylo Iryna with the work "Electronic diary of the educational course";
Ostapishyn Artur with the work "Technical implementation of the student platform for study and leisure";
Terek Olena with the work "Development of applications for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)";
Yury Lubusky with the work "Web application "Architecture of Lviv".

The department has a scientific student group "Computer Graphics" (head E.A. Rekhletskyi), whose program includes data visualization and application design.

Students of the specialty are actively involved in international educational projects. Thus, within the framework of the ERASMUS+ (International credit mobility) project, 2 higher education applicants (O. Rozlivanov, I. Kvasha) studied under exchange programs at the University of Pardubice (Czech Republic).

The scientific activity of the department is also aimed at the development of practical skills of the applicants and the implementation of their results. Together with the teachers of the department, students select free software for university computer classes, carry out computer hardware and software testing, prepare materials for distance courses, fill the test database of educational components, etc.
