Each BSc programme has specific requirements that you must meet to apply for enrolment. The requirements concern a list of subjects, their levels and your obtained grades.

For the 2023 admission, applicants with the following quotients were offered admission in quota 1. Please note that the GPA (Grade Point Average) changes from year to year.

  • Data Science: 6,8
  • Digital Design and Interactive Technologies: 8,7
  • Global Business Informatics: 8,3
  • Software development: 7,6

Quota 1 and quota 2
Denmark has a quota system for admission. If your GPA is not high enough for admission in quota 1, you can apply through quota 2 and be assessed on other criteria. At the IT University, we ask you to write a motivational cover letter that can be assessed as part of your application.

All our international applicants must apply on the quota 2 deadline on 15 March at 12:00 noon CET and we recommend you attach a motivational cover letter. This may allow you to be assessed in both quotas and will improve your chances.

Non-European applicants are required to pay a tuition fee when studying in Denmark. As part of your application submission, you will also need to pay an application fee.

If you do not meet one or more of the specific admission requirements for the programme you wish to apply for, you can take a supplementary course.

When you apply for an exemption, you need a documented reason for ITU to process your application. The reason may be unusual circumstances surrounding your qualifying examination certificate, previous enrolment at the university, or if you are applying for approval of equivalent qualifications from another institution.
