Sparked by the sharp growth of communication devices, users, and services, communications engineering is more than ever an especially important area in engineering. Accordingly, global demand for communications engineers has been continuously increasing. To meet the demand, we offer an International Undergraduate Program with high quality communications engineers as the outcomes. These engineers must be able to compete globally, hence an international academic environment is in place to nurture them from the beginning of their engineering education.

In our program, faculty, researchers, and students are actively engaged in Intelligent Communications Engineering. The involvement of artificial intelligence in communications engineering is increasingly necessary and vibrant, hence our program features it inseparably. Furthermore, our graduates will have cutting edge knowledge and skills for the development of Digital Information Infrastructure and Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure, in line with today’s technological advancement.

To begin with, communications engineering is a field concerning the processes of generating, processing, storing, and transmitting (distributing) signals and/or information in an effective, efficient, high-quality, and secure manner. Fundamentally it requires basic sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) and mathematics.  

At its core, communications engineering studies electromagnetics; communication electronics; communication systems; information and signal processing; communication networks; services and applications. Furthermore, it is an interdisciplinary field that requires combination with artificial intelligence and working knowledge on management and regulations. In addition to that, it is also supported by general knowledge such as ethics, civics, environmental sciences, communications, data science, engineering design, and entrepreneurship. 

Our curriculum structure can be seen in this picture below. If students are interested in the fast-track program, they can begin taking master’s courses for additional credits in their fourth year. They will complete all the master’s courses by the end of their fifth year. At the end of the fourth year, they will receive their bachelor’s degree, and upon completing the fifth year, they will earn their master’s degree.

• Mandatory International Exposure

1. Type: Student Exchange 
2. Required Duration : minimum 1 Semester in the fourth year
3. Current Partners : University of Groningen, Waseda University, Universiti Malaya, and Hanyang University*

*) = At present, ITB does not have a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU); however, a number of students are benefiting from an exchange program there.

• Student Exchange Costs

The amount of money to be spent varies, depending on:

1. The fees charged by the selected partner university. However, when ITB establishes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with partner universities, exchange students are responsible solely for their tuition fees to ITB. This arrangement allows students to focus on their educational experience abroad, as they only need to cover their living expenses. This opportunity not only enhances their academic journey but also minimizes financial burdens, making studying abroad more accessible and rewarding.
2. The location related costs can be see in Table 1 below.
