European applicant (EU/EEA/Swiss)

Follow the steps below to apply for enrolment as a European applicant.

When we have received your application, we will assess it in either quota 1, quota 2 or both, depending on which quota your exam qualifies for.

• In quota 1, the assessment of your application is solely based on your GPA (grade point average).
• In quota 2, the assessment is based on your motivational cover letter and your grades in Mathematics and English.

We recommend you attach a motivational cover letter to your application that allows you to be assessed in both quotas.

The application deadline is 15 March at 12:00 noon CET.

How to apply

1. Write a motivational cover letter

In the motivational cover letter, you have to point out your personal motivation for applying to your chosen programme.

Overall, we would like to know more about why you wish to study this specific bachelor programme, why you are eligible, and if you have some ideas of what you wish to work with in the future. A keyword is that the information should be specific rather than general and it should relate to the specific field of study.

The cover letter must be written in English and be of maximum one A4 page.

The assessment of your application is subject to an overall evaluation of your grades, qualifications, and suitability to study. Your grades in English and Mathematics (50%) as well as your cover letter (50%) are included in the evaluation. From these, we assess your possibility of completing the programme with a satisfactory result.

2. Gather required documentation

You must enclose the following documentation in your application:

• Upper secondary school certificate, including diploma and transcripts of records (if your documentation is not in English, Norwegian, or Swedish they must be translated into English by an official/certified translator with signature and stamp)
• A motivational cover letter in English (recommended for all international applicants, but mandatory for quota 2 applicants)
• A scan of your passport (photo page)
• Verification form signed and stamped by your school (applicants from Norway, Sweden, and Iceland are exempted, as well as applicant with an IB and GCSE A-level)

You may also need to enclose:

• English test (if you hold an upper secondary certificate from a non-EU/EEA country)
• A pre-assessment from ITU (see Pre-assessment)
• Documentation for residence permit in Denmark (if you are from a non-EU/EEA country)
• Master diploma (if you have already completed a MSc programme – see Master’s rule under Exemption)
• Transcript of records and course descriptions from university (if you have previously passed bachelor university courses from uncompleted programmes)
• An application for exemption (see Exemption)
• A power of attorney form (if you want another person to look after your interests regarding your application for admission you can fill in a power of attorney form)

You do not need to include plane tickets, extracurricular activity certificates, reference, or similar documents.

If any of the required documentation is missing, we will contact you by email before 5 July. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the email address you have stated in your application.

3. Apply via Optagelse.dk

To submit your application, login to the Danish national application system Optagelse.dk. Here you can apply for admission to ITU’s bachelor programmes. After submission you will receive a receipt per email.

When you apply via Optagelse.dk without a MitID (Denmark's digital ID), the application system generates a ‘signature page’ for each of the chosen programmes. 

You must print, sign, and scan the signature page for each programme you apply to. Send the signature page by email to sap@itu.dk by 15 March at 12:00 noon CET. We cannot process your application before receiving the signature page.
