The curriculum is well-structured as shown in the figure below. The first two years focus on the basic principles and core aspects of information engineering on three streams: (1) Mathematics and Signals & Systems; (2) Computer Systems and Programming; and (3) Computer Networking.

In the third year, students are allowed to specialize in different areas of interest for career preparation. Students have the greatest flexibility to tailor their own studies by selecting elective courses on Computer Networking, Internet Security, Multimedia Computing, Computer Game Design, Software Development and Telecommunications.
