Bachelor in Dept. of Information System and Security

Tongmyong University, based in Nam-gu, South Korea, offers a bachelor's degree in Information System and Security, delivered in English across four years of study. The program centers on how organizations design, build, and protect the information systems they rely on, combining core computing subjects such as programming, databases, and networking with dedicated coursework in cybersecurity, cryptography, and system administration. Students typically learn to identify vulnerabilities in software and networks, apply security controls, and manage information systems in ways that balance accessibility with protection against unauthorized access. Alongside technical coursework, students often study topics such as information system design, systems analysis, and risk management, gaining a broad view of how technology supports business and organizational operations. Practical labs and projects are common in this field, giving students experience configuring networks, testing system defenses, and working through security scenarios. Graduates are typically prepared for roles such as information security analyst, network administrator, systems engineer, IT auditor, and security consultant, working in industries ranging from finance and telecommunications to government and technology services, where protecting digital infrastructure is a continuing priority. Delivering the program in English allows international students to study information systems and security in South Korea without needing to be fluent in Korean at the outset. Students entering the Fall 2026 undergraduate intake follow a four-year curriculum that begins with general computing foundations and progresses into specialized security and systems coursework, preparing them for both industry roles and further study in cybersecurity or information technology.
