Single subjects

Every semester the IT University offers between 30 and 40 single subjects taught in English.

The courses cover areas such as Business, IT Management, Digital Communication, Software Development and Games.

Abut the courses

The courses run on a part-time basis and should allow you to balance work and personal life. Classes are generally scheduled in the afternoon and evening hours.

A semester consists of 12-16 weeks of classes and ends with a short exam period.

As a rule of thumb, you will need to spend around 8-10 hours of homework and preparation on each course of 7,5 ECTS.

Disclaimer

The IT University reserves the right to adjust or cancel planned courses if we do not have enough registrations or if other organisational conditions apply.

If you do not meet the admission requirements for the course you want to apply for, you may apply for an exemption from the requirements. When you apply for a course via the application portal, you may attach the exemption application.

The application must include an explanation of what you are applying for exemption from and why. In addition, you must provide documentation of the conditions for which you are applying for an exemption. You can only be granted an exemption from the admission requirements if the IT University assesses that you have the necessary academic qualifications.

There is a tuition fee per course that covers lectures and two exam attempts. We will send an invoice for payment, which must be paid before you can attend lectures and go to the exam. The deadline for timely payment is stated in the invoice. For some participants, the tuition fee is paid by their employer, while other pay for themselves.

The tuition fee is non-refundable once the course has started, except in the event of death, illness, stationing or the like. In such cases, you must send an exemption application together with documentation to ITU Professional Education.

Why do non-EU/EEA participants pay a higher tuition fee?

Exceptions to the rule
If you are a non-EU/EEA citizen but have a permanent residence permit in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden, or have a temporary residence permit with the possibility of permanent residence in Denmark, you will pay the same price as EU/EEA citizens. Please submit a copy of your residence permit when you apply for one of our single subject courses in the Application Portal.

Residence and citizenship

You have to be a citizen inside EU/EEA or have a residence permit in Denmark (or one of the other Nordic countries mentioned above) to apply for a single subject. Be aware that it is not possible to get a residence permit based on your application for a single subject.

Qualifying exam

When you apply for a MSc or Professional Master course, you must document English language qualifications corresponding to the Danish B level.

You may also document English with:
