Department of Computer Science and Cybersecurity was established on the basis of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Informatics in 2020. Department of Applied Mathematics ans Informatics was established in 1993 as general university department for teaching disciplines in programming, basics of computer science and applied mathematics. The first set of students majoring in "Informatics" was made in 1996. It was the only Department in Volyn region that provided training in informatics. The purpose of its activities was to coordinate the main areas of pedagogical, methodological and scientific work at the university and in the region. To this end, the Department actively cooperated with other departments of the university, Lutsk city and regional departments of education and science, regional state administration, district departments of education, Ukrainian and foreign universities. The informatics specialists training was based on the levels: “Bachelor of Applied Mathematics”, “Informatics Specialist”, and “Master of Informatics”, full-time and part-time.
