Bachelor of Engineering in Information Systems and Cybersecurity (ISCE)
International Program
Program Overview
The Bachelor of Engineering in Information Systems and Cybersecurity (ISCE) is an international program designed to meet the global demand for engineers capable of designing, securing, and managing complex digital infrastructures.
By integrating Information Systems and Cybersecurity Engineering, the program equips students to navigate the evolving landscape of digital transformation and cyber threats. The curriculum is uniquely developed in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Law, and ITSC to ensure a strong foundation in computing, legal compliance, and practical operations.
To ensure graduates are fully prepared for the industry, ISCE works closely with leading partners and government agencies, including NCSA, Cisco, AWS, Fortinet, and OffSec. Taught entirely in English, the program empowers students to work confidently and effectively in the global workforce.

What You Will Learn
The program emphasizes a balance between theoretical foundations and practical application. During Years 1 & 2, all students undertake a shared engineering curriculum to establish essential technical competencies. This foundational period covers Computer Networks, Database Systems, Operating Systems, Programming, and Fundamental Information Security. This approach ensures that every student, regardless of their future specialization, possesses the critical skills to design secure and efficient systems.
Starting in Year 3, students choose to specialize in one of two engineering tracks
Information Systems Engineering
Focuses on the architecture, development, and management of complex software solutions. The curriculum covers Cloud Computing Systems, Advanced Software Engineering, Enterprise Systems, Database Management, AI/ML Integration, and IT Project Management.
Cybersecurity Engineering
Focuses on offensive and defensive security strategies, infrastructure protection, and digital compliance. The curriculum covers Ethical Hacking, Cloud Security, Penetration Testing, Digital Forensics, Defensive Security Operations, Cyber Law, and Policy & Standards.
Career Opportunities
Information Systems Engineering:
Network Engineer, Software Engineer, Data Systems Engineer, Information System Administrator, IT Manager.
Cybersecurity Engineering:
Cybersecurity Engineer, Penetration Tester, SRE, Security Analyst, Auditor.
Differences between ISCE and CPE
While Computer Engineering focuses heavily on Computer Hardware, Architecture, and the integration of hardware-software systems, ISCE emphasizes the Application Layer, Infrastructure, and Security.
ISCE is designed for students who want to master Information Systems (Software, Data, Cloud, Computer Network) and Cybersecurity (Defense, Offense, Forensics) without diving deep into hardware circuit design. The program also integrates soft skills and management knowledge, preparing students to work effectively in international and corporate environments immediately upon graduation.
