Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv

What Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv does

The Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics is an academic department within Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukrainian state university, Lviv, Universytetska Street 1) that delivers higher education and research in applied mathematics, computer science, system analysis, cybersecurity, and informatics pedagogy. It operates 8 departments and 6 laboratories with over 300 listed academic and administrative staff, offering Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD programs across five named specializations — Secondary Education (Informatics, 014), Applied Mathematics (113), Computer Sciences (122), System Analysis and Data Science (124), and Cybersecurity and Information Protection (125) — plus an Intelligent Systems and Machine Learning track (F6) and a double-degree RealMaths/InterMaths track with the University of L'Aquila in Italy.

The faculty's technology surface is conventional academic infrastructure: computer laboratories, mathematical-modeling software, standard programming environments, and Microsoft Azure Education Hub for cloud coursework. Research output is channeled through two own-branded journals (Visnyk of Lviv University series, Journal of Applied and Numerical Analysis), an annual SSCAMC student scientific conference, and supplementary offerings such as the Algotester College of Algorithmic Programming and the annual LNU Open/KPI Open programming contests.

Revenue mechanics are hybrid public: primary funding flows from the Ukrainian state budget for state-funded student placements, with a contract-based paid track for tuition-paying students and additional national/international research grants (Erasmus+, NEXT, etc.). Pricing is set by Ukrainian state education standards and is not publicly disclosed; no separate faculty-level revenue is reported. Customer segments span high-school graduates seeking Bachelor's degrees (primary), Bachelor's graduates seeking Master's, doctoral researchers, and future informatics teachers — sourced through a national EHE admission system, pre-university prep programs, IT olympiads, and the Lviv IT Cluster partnership. The institution is structurally dependent on Ukrainian state policy and regional IT-industry demand (SoftServe, EPAM, GlobalLogic, N-iX).

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute": Ukraine's flagship technical university with dedicated applied-mathematics and computer-science institutes. Closest national-level peer in scale, program breadth, and IT-industry employer pipeline.
• Lviv Polytechnic National University - Institute of Computer Science and Information Technologies: Ukrainian polytechnic in the same Lviv ecosystem offering parallel CS and applied-mathematics degree tracks. Directly comparable as a regional competitor for the same Western-Ukrainian applicant pool and IT-employer internship slots.
• Ukrainian Catholic University - Faculty of Applied Sciences: Lviv-based private university with a strong applied-sciences and CS orientation. Closely comparable in Lviv tech-cluster positioning, smaller-class ethos, and English-friendly international programs.
• Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv - Faculty of Computer Science / Cybernetics: Top Ukrainian national university with classical CS, applied math, and cybernetics programs. Directly competes for the highest-aptitude Ukrainian applicants and similarly aligns with major Kyiv-based IT employers.
• V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University - School of Mathematics and Computer Sciences: Major national university with parallel applied-mathematics and CS programs serving Kharkiv's IT sector. Comparable program mix and degree-level breadth, with similar war-related operational pressures.

Emerging players

• Prometheus (Ukrainian MOOC platform): Ukraine's primary open online course platform offering CS, math, and data-science courses from top Ukrainian academics. Comparable audience of self-learners and supplementary learners but competes for the same students' attention and credentialing share.
• EPAM University / EPAM Training Center: Corporate education arm of EPAM Systems, another core LNU industry partner. Comparable learner pool and CS/engineering curriculum focus, but operates as private, employer-aligned training rather than degree-granting higher education.
• SoftServe Academy: Corporate training arm of SoftServe, the faculty's largest industry partner. Comparable curriculum focus (software engineering, cloud, data) and audience overlap, but delivers shorter, employer-branded credentials rather than state-accredited degrees.

Regional players

• Charles University - Faculty of Mathematics and Physics: Central European research university combining mathematics, computer science, and physics at full Bachelor's through PhD depth. Comparable as a regional peer for international accreditation benchmarking and student mobility.
• Warsaw University of Technology - Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science: Leading Polish polytechnic with applied-math and CS programs that mirror LNU's structure. Comparable as a regional (non-domestic) reference point for Erasmus+ mobility flows and EU credential competition.
