The National Institute of Telecommunications and Informatics (INCI) was established in 1983 to meet the needs of Lebanon and the Near East in terms of telecommunications training and upskilling.

In 1996, a Master in Telecommunications, concentration: Networks was introduced to meet the growing needs of the Lebanese market, which had been increasingly seeking advanced expertise in the networks field for some years. The program also offered students the possibility to either take the entrance exam for the second year of Electrical Engineering at ESIB, or to pursue further studies by joining the DAS program.

In 1999, INCI adopted the strategic principles of the Faculty within its teaching approach, revising courses, supervised work, and practical work. This reform aimed to integrate emerging information technologies into the curriculum and to foster greater student independence and responsibility.

In 2003, the Institute adopted the ECTS system as decided by the University Board. The academic year is divided into 14-week semesters, consisting of courses that total sixty credits annually. Each credit represents roughly ten hours of student work, which includes lectures or supervised personal work.

In 2012, the “maîtrise” degree was restructured as a Master in Systems and Networks, concentration: Information Security, to train skilled professionals with strong scientific and practical skills in information security, capable of safeguarding complex information systems locally and internationally.

In 2016, a Bachelor in Computer Science was launched to train highly qualified programmers for the industrial sector. Graduates are equipped to design, maintain, and program computer systems, as well as develop applications for a variety of industries.
