Information Systems Engineering + Business Administration and Management

5 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

CEU San Pablo University

Program Overview

This double degree blends computer science and engineering with business and management, giving students the ability to understand both how technology is built and how businesses operate. It is designed for students who want to work in tech-driven companies, consulting, or leadership roles where IT and business come together.

Curriculum Structure

Year 1

In the first year, students focus on building strong foundations in both technology and business. You’ll study subjects like programming, mathematics, microeconomics, and basic business management, helping you develop logical thinking and an understanding of how organizations function alongside core coding skills.

Year 2

The second year builds on these foundations with more technical and business-focused subjects. You’ll learn programming in greater depth, explore databases, financial accounting, marketing fundamentals, and basic physics for computing, connecting technical systems with real-world business needs.

Year 3

At this stage, students move into more advanced areas of study. Subjects like software engineering, computer architecture, macroeconomics, and business organization help you understand how complex systems are designed and how companies operate at a strategic level.

Year 4–5

The final phase focuses on specialization and real-world experience. You’ll study advanced software systems, cybersecurity, strategic business analysis, and also complete professional internships where you apply both technical and managerial skills in real companies.

Focus Areas

Software development, data systems, business strategy, financial analysis, digital transformation, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship.
