The Faculty of Computer Science was initially a department under the Faculty of Natural Sciences before 2013.

Currently, the faculty operates with three departments and nearly 400 students, actively engaged in academic, scientific, and research activities.

To date, more than 1,300 graduates have entered the job market, many of whom are employed in private and governmental institutions, IT industry, higher and semi-higher education institutions, and schools as lecturers and professionals.
