Department of Information Systems Engineering
Chairman’s Welcome Message

On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, I welcome you to the website of the Department of Information Systems Engineering at Near East University. The Department was founded in 2009 and offers Bachelors of Science (BSc) and Masters of Science (MSc) degrees in English and Bachelors of Science (BSc) degree in Turkish.

The aim of the Department is to provide a strong background in the theories and practices of Information Systems Engineering, and to graduate engineers with up-to-date knowledge and information regarding science and engineering.

The Department also aims to prepare specialists and instructors in the field of Information Systems Engineering, to alleviate the demand for well-trained engineers in the industry, business and in institutions of higher education; to carry out research projects; to offer elective computer courses to students of other departments; and to help faculty members in their researches that require the utilization of computers. Students learn to put into practice different systems of processing, and different computer languages; senior year students, on the other hand, specialize in software areas according to their preferences. The structure of the courses provided by the Department include subjects and courses that are currently provided by Universities in Europe and the USA. Students have to complete 40 working-days summer training to qualify for graduation.

The Information Systems Engineering Department is keen on utilizing and providing its students with the latest technical facilities in order to provide each student with robust practical experience in computer related fields. In addition, the Department focuses on scientific research and international publications related to computer based topics.
