Bachelor's in Telecommunications and Informatics Engineering

The Bachelor's in Telecommunications and Informatics Engineering is a 3-year first-cycle degree (6 semesters, 180 ECTS) at the Porto School of Engineering (ISEP), in daytime hours. It brings together two converging fields, telecommunications technologies and services and computing, and prepares students to work in user services, consumer or professional electronics, communication platforms and computer networks.

The 1st year gives a grounding in mathematics, algorithms and programming, electrical and electronic circuits, digital systems, computer architecture, microprocessors and telecommunications. The 2nd year includes Databases and Data Warehousing, Software and Mobile Systems Development, Software Engineering, IP Networks, Mobile Communication Networks, Operating and Computing Systems and an integrating course in Embedded Systems. The 3rd year covers Computer Security, Distributed Systems, Optical Communications and Technologies and Multimedia Communications, with an integrating course in Networks and Communication Systems and electives such as Artificial Intelligence, Home Automation or Advanced Algorithms. The degree ends with a project or internship, in companies or research groups.

Graduates work in communication networks, systems and network administration, software engineering, computer security, web and mobile applications, computer vision and multimedia, distributed systems, data science, artificial intelligence and consultancy. At ISEP, they can apply, for example, to the Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering, in Informatics Engineering or in Artificial Intelligence Engineering.
