Undergraduate Program in Informatics Engineering

The Informatics Study Program provides education in the areas of theoretical foundations of information and computing as well as practical techniques for their application in computer systems

In the current era of globalization, IT (Information Technology) has become an absolute necessity for every organization, including companies in the field of services and goods as well as non-profit organizations. In addition, this technology is also a science that is able to touch the community individually, such as in communication, entertainment and education. Therefore, the need for professional workers in the field of Informatics Engineering is very high both at the national and international levels. Besides being absorbed by the labor market, a graduate of Informatics Engineering can also easily become an entrepreneur with his expertise and creativity in the field of Informatics.

The establishment of the Informatics Engineering Study Program at ITB began with the use of computers under the management of the ITB Computer Center. Supported by the spirit and willingness to develop, formal education about computers began with the opening of the Computer Engineering Department (PAT-JPK) in 1978.

Jobs for graduates of Informatics/Computer Science Programs are generally divided into three pathways:

  1. Designing and building software, refers to software development such as web-based application development, mobile applications, security issues, interface design, and so on. Career paths in this field represent the vast majority of jobs in Informatics and Computer Science. many large or small computer software and service companies, as well as large organizations from various fields such as government, industrial banking, education, health, and so on, offer careers in this path.
  2. Designing new and better ways to use computers, which refers to improvements and innovations in the application of computer technology. This career path may require an advanced postgraduate degree, followed by a position within a research university or industrial research and development laboratory. It can also involve entrepreneurial activities such as setting up a high-tech start-up.
  3. Develop effective ways to solve computing problems. This pathway refers to the development of theories and algorithms to ensure the best solution of computationally intensive problems such as searching information from billions of web documents, processing millions of requests simultaneously, providing new approaches to security problems, and so on. This career path typically requires a postgraduate to doctoral degree, followed by a position within a research university or industrial research and development laboratory.
