A scientific school of the University is a team of highly qualified scientists of the same research area who are united by common approaches to solving scientific problems, work style, ideas and methods of their implementation in the practical life of society.

The scientific school operates under the guidance of an experienced Doctor of Science (Professor), the founder of the research area, whose scientific achievements are recognised by the domestic and foreign scientific community.

A research topic (scientific direction) is a necessary condition for the existence of a scientific school. It should be characterised by productivity, i.e. it should provide for the possibility of its development as the subject matter is mastered. The research topic is approved by the Academic Council of the University and reflects the leading idea of the scientific school.

A sign of a scientific school is an established powerful scientific team that jointly carries out research work on a scientific topic registered with the State Scientific Institution "Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information" and/or on a self-supporting topic carried out at the university.
