Study start

Welcome to the start of studies at the IT University of Copenhagen!

For new bachelor's and master's students, we organize introduction days where you will meet your tutors and new fellow students. These days offer both social activities and academic insights, allowing you to get to know the study environment and your fellow students.

On this page, you can also read more about starting as an exchange or guest student as well as learning more about the opportunities to apply for special educational support (SPS) to facilitate your study process.

Study start for bachelor's students

ITU welcomes you to the Introduction Days for new bachelor's students from 19-23 August 2024 followed by a Freshers' Weekend on 7 September 2024.

The Introduction Days give you a social, academic and practical insight to the life as a student at ITU. You will be greeted by your tutors, the Rector and get a change to meet your Head of Programme. During the Introduction Days you will work on an academic intro-days-project and the focus will also be on spending cozy and informal time together with your new fellow students. The Study and Career Guidance will tell you about rules, regulations and your possibilities as a university student.

You will receive more information in the welcoming letter if you get accepted to one of our programmes.

Special Pedagogical Support

Special educational support (SPS) is meant to ensure that students with a physical or mental disability can complete a higher education on equal terms with other students. You must be a Danish citizen, an EU/EØS citizen or have status equivalent of a Danish citizen to receive SPS. It will not be noted on your graduation diploma that you have received SPS during your studies.

To be eligible to receive SPS, you must have a disability that requires extra support for you to complete your education. This could be:

• Physical (e.g. disabilities that limits your motor functions, physical diseases, visually or hearing disabilities)
• Mental (e.g. autism, Aspergers syndrome, clinical depression or stress)
• Neurological (e.g. dyslexia, brain injury)

If you have questions about SPS you can contact our SPS-Advisor on sps@itu.dk.
