Exemption
ITU  /  Programmes  /  BSc Programmes  /  Applying for a BSc Programme  /  Exemption

Exemption

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

Read the list of possible exemption reasons below carefully before starting your exemption application form.

If you are applying for an exemption, you must attach your application form with your other application materials to Optagelse.dk no later than 15 March at 12.00 noon CET.

General admission requirement (corresponding qualifications)

If you have not completed a qualifying exam, you need to argue how you meet the general admission requirement by other passed study activities. You must enclose relevant documentation, for instance:

  • Diploma for alternative completed degree or certificate of competence
  • Transcript of records and course descriptions for passed higher education courses

Please note: We do not consider work experience.

Specific admission requirements in Danish, English or Mathematics (corresponding qualifications)

If you do not meet one or more specific admission requirements, you need to argue how you meet the requirement(s) by corresponding qualifications. You must enclose relevant documentation, for instance:

  • Transcript of records and course descriptions from higher education courses

Grade point average (GPA) (special circumstances)

If you think your grade point average (GPA) has been affected by special circumstances, you need to describe the special circumstances and how they have affected your GPA. A special circumstance is unpredictable conditions which you have not been able to adjust to or take into consideration. For instance:

  • Accident
  • Sudden illness – physical or psychologically
  • Sudden flare-up/aggravation of former known illness
  • A disability, which has been diagnosed during or after the qualifying exam
  • Death in the immediate family (children, spouse/cohabiting, siblings, parents, in rare cases grandparents)
You must enclose relevant documentation, for instance:
  • Grades from your upper secondary school for each year
  • Doctor’s note, which includes a time indication of the period, the professional assessment of how the situation has affected you
  • Medical record for long-lasting illness
  • Police report
  • Death certificate/doctor’s note/documentation for long-lasting/terminal illness in the immediate family
  • Specialist statement concerning test of dyslexia

Grade requirements in Danish, English, or Mathematics (special circumstances)

If you think your grades in Danish, English, or Mathematics have been affected by special circumstances, you need to describe the special circumstances and how they have affected your grade(s). A special circumstance is unpredictable conditions which you have not been able to adjust to or take into consideration. For instance:

  • Accident
  • Sudden illness – physical or psychologically
  • Sudden flare-up/aggravation of former known illness
  • A disability, which has been diagnosed after the qualifying exam
  • Death in the immediate family (children, spouse/cohabiting, siblings, parents, in rare cases grandparents)

You must enclose relevant documentation, for instance:

  • Grades from your upper secondary school for each year
  • Doctor’s note, which includes a time indication of the period, the professional assessment of how the situation has affected you
  • Medical record for long-lasting illness
  • Police report
  • Death certificate/doctor’s note/documentation for long-lasting/terminal illness in the immediate family
  • Specialist statement concerning test of dyslexia

Extension of a deadline (special circumstances)

If you have passed a deadline, you must explain how special circumstances have prevented you from meeting the deadline. You must enclose relevant documentation, for instance:

  • Doctor’s note with a time indication of the period, which prevented you from meeting the deadline

Previously enrolled in the same study programme

If you have previously been enrolled in the study programme you apply for, but your enrolment has been terminated by ITU, you must describe why the enrolment was terminated and argue how your situation has changed for you to be able to study again and complete the study programme this time. You must enclose relevant documentation, for instance:

  • Doctor’s note with a time indication of the period and the doctor’s assessment of how the situation affected your abilities to study back then and in which extend you are affected by it now
  • Transcript of records if you have passed courses at another study programme after the termination of enrolment at ITU

Master's rule

The Master’s Rule allows applicants who have completed a Danish or a foreign master's programme to be admitted to a new higher educational programme only in case of vacant study places. Normally, we have no vacant study places at the IT University of Copenhagen.

In special cases if you are no longer able to work within the field of the completed programme, the university can exempt you from the rule. Please note, you have to apply by 15 March at 12.00 noon CET and enclose a motivational cover letter, if you have previously completed a MSc degree.




 

How to apply

An application must include a reason and description of why you apply for exemption. The application should include all relevant documentation.

If you want to apply for exemption, you have to upload a filled-out application form alongside your general application for enrolment at Optagelse.dk. Please name it 'Application for exemption'.
