BSc (Hons) Degree in Information Systems Engineering

The department of Information Systems Engineering of the Faculty of Informatics and Telecommunications offers this programme that leads to the award of BSc Degree.

Aim

This programme aims to produce competent, creative and flexible engineers with skills that will allow them to contribute to the design of the next generation of information systems.

Objectives

The objectives of this programme are:

• to enable students to learn the theory and practice of hardware and software engineering design and to provide them with the skills to implement software solutions.
• to provide students with the required backgound that would enable them to benefit from choosing, in the latter part of the programme, specialised modules in their area of interest (a choice between Software engineering and Communications & signal engineering).
• to enable students to learn individual and group project work concentrating on real-life problems.
• to prepare degree graduates to join the work force as professionals in a wide range of related fields including telecommunications, signal processing engineering and information tecnology.
• to prepare degree graduates to pursue further postgraduate studies in their chosen field.

Course Duration

The duration of the programme is eight semesters of full-time study and leads to the BSc(Hons) Degree in Information Systems Engineering.

The programme of studies is based on european credit units (ECTS). ECTS is based oh the principle that 60 credits approximately measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year.

Graduation Requirements

Students studying towards the BSc Honours in Information Systems Engineering are required to take a minimum of 264 ECTS out of a possible 288 ECTS. One-hundred and sixty eight (168) come from core subjects, forty eight (48) come from Core specialization subjects, either Software Engineering or Communications and Signal Processing, and forty-eight (48) from Electives.

The table below shows the analytical distribution of ECTS per semester:

Honours Degree

On graduation, each candidate should have:

• completed successfully all the prescribed course work of the examination syllabus.
• achieved the required minimum number of ECTS of prescribed coursework and laboratory work by completing successfully all core and elective subjects, as required by the programme of studies.
• achieved a minimum of 264 ECTS and secured a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.00.

A candidate that has fulfilled the requirements of the prescribed scheme of study and has satisfied the examiners will be eligible for the conferment of a Bachelors Degree with Honours in one of the following classes on the basis of his/her Grade Point Average (GPA)*

Candidates not deened to have attained the standard required for the conferment of an Honours Degree may be granted a Pass Degree.

* a subject for one stream can also be available as an option for the other stream. A subject is available as an elective if the condition of prerequisites is satisfied.
