Bachelor's in Informatics Engineering

The Bachelor's in Informatics Engineering is a 3-year first-cycle degree (6 semesters, 180 ECTS) at the Porto School of Engineering (ISEP). It runs in daytime hours and also in an after-work schedule, which depends on a minimum number of enrolments.

The degree prepares students for teams that design and develop software and information systems, run networks and security and work with data. Its structure follows international references (ACM, IEEE and the CDIO Initiative), and it holds the EUR-ACE quality label from the Ordem dos Engenheiros. The plan includes Algorithms and Programming, Principles of Computing, Discrete Mathematics, Programming Paradigms, Software Engineering, Information Structures, Databases, Computer Architecture, Computer Networks, Computer Systems, Languages and Programming, Application Engineering, Systems Architecture, Systems Administration, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis in Informatics. There is a Lab / Project course in each of the first five semesters, and the degree ends with a project, which can be done in a company or a research centre.

Graduates work in software development, systems and network administration, database development and administration, big data, artificial intelligence and consultancy. At ISEP, they can apply to the Master's in Informatics Engineering, in Artificial Intelligence Engineering or in Critical Computing Systems Engineering.
