Information Systems

I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION

            The undergraduate program in Information Systems is designed with an application-oriented approach, aiming to provide learners with a foundational knowledge base in natural and social sciences, mathematics, information technology, and advanced knowledge in information systems. The program equips students with core disciplinary knowledge such as data structures and algorithms, operating systems, databases, and computer networks; as well as major and specialized knowledge including systems analysis and design, cross-platform application programming, software engineering, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, information systems management, and fields related to intelligent transportation and enterprise information systems.

The program emphasizes the development of professional competencies through a system of practical modules, laboratory work, projects, internships, and applied courses. Students are trained in skills such as modeling, analyzing, and designing information systems; object-oriented programming, web programming, and mobile programming; data management and data processing, network administration, software testing, and deploying IT solutions in enterprises. In addition, learners are equipped with research and data analysis skills and the ability to work with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and decision-support systems.

Alongside specialized knowledge, the program fosters soft skills and professional qualities, including communication, teamwork, systems thinking, presentation and problem-solving skills, self-learning, self-research abilities, and an innovative mindset. Learners are also trained in professional ethics, discipline, professional conduct, and a sense of responsibility in the context of digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0).

Upon graduation, students in Information Systems can take on positions such as software developers, systems analysts and designers, database administrators, network administrators, software testing specialists, system deployment and integration engineers, data analysts, IT solutions consultants, or pursue teaching and research careers at educational institutions. Graduates are also capable of continuing their studies at higher levels in information systems, information technology, and related fields.
