Bachelor in Information Sciences (SInfo)

The Information Sciences (SInfo) program provides students with a strong foundation in computing, mathematics, and digital systems during the first year, which is common to all ITN Bachelor programs. From the second year onward, students specialize in the design, development, and management of information systems, gaining both theoretical knowledge and hands-on technical expertise.

Program Highlights

Year 1 – Common Foundation:
Students are introduced to the fundamentals of computer science, mathematics, physics, electronics, and programming. Courses such as Introduction à l’informatique, Mathématiques discrètes, Algorithmique et Programmation, and Électronique numérique build the essential scientific and technical base required for advanced studies.

Year 2 – Core Computing Skills:
The focus shifts to Computer Architecture, Object-Oriented Programming (C++, C#), Database Architecture, and Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS). Students also learn Ethics and Professional Conduct in the Digital Field and choose a foreign language (Kiswahili or Chinese). Web and mobile programming, data structures, and network design are introduced, with two major project modules reinforcing practical skills.

Year 3 – Advanced Information Systems Engineering:
Students explore Database Administration, Software Engineering, Signal Processing, and Human-Computer Interaction. The curriculum includes Parallel and Distributed Systems, Cognitive Technologies, and Entrepreneurship & Marketing. By the end of this year, students are equipped to manage and develop large-scale, interconnected digital systems with an understanding of business dynamics.

Year 4 – Emerging Technologies and Intelligent Systems:
The final year emphasizes Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IoT (Internet of Things), and System Reliability and Maintenance. Students gain experience in Simulation and Robotics, Multimedia Systems, and Risk and Audit Management. The program culminates in a Final Project, where students design and present an innovative digital solution that integrates the knowledge acquired throughout their studies.
