About us

The Faculty of Computer Science at Białystok University of Technology is one of the leading centers of computing education in Eastern Poland. The Faculty’s history dates back to July 1, 1989, when the Institute of Computer Science was established on the basis of the Electronic Computing Center of Białystok University of Technology. In 2001, the Institute was transformed into the Faculty of Computer Science. In the same year, the Faculty obtained the right to confer the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences in the discipline of computer science. In 2016, the Faculty was also granted the right to confer the degree of Doctor Habilitated in the same discipline. Currently, the Scientific Council of the Faculty awards academic degrees in the discipline of Computer Science and Telecommunications.

An important factor in the Faculty’s development is the continuous expansion of its educational offer. At present, the Faculty provides first-cycle (Bachelor’s/Engineer’s) degree programs in four fields: computer science, applied mathematics, data science, and computer science and econometrics, as well as second-cycle (Master’s) degree programs in computer science and applied mathematics. All study programs are also designed to be delivered in English. In addition, the Faculty offers a wide range of postgraduate programs. Curricula at all levels are developed in consultation with the socio-economic environment. In 2012, the Faculty Council established the Business Advisory Board, whose activities contribute to positive changes in study programs by aligning them with labor market needs.

The organizational structure of the Faculty comprises five departments: the Department of Software Engineering, the Department of Digital Media and Computer Graphics, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of Theoretical Computer Science, and the Department of Information Systems and Computer Networks. The Faculty also hosts the “Signum” Center for the Popularization of Mathematics.
