The three-year BSc in Software Development teaches you to design and programme software, as well as communication and business. This combination of disciplines provides you with the qualifications for developing and designing IT solutions, as well as providing consultation for businesses and organisations on a given solution.
The most successful companies in the world such as Google or Apple are created by people with a deep understanding of advanced software technology and their development methods and business processes. The IT University’s goal for the BSc in Software Development is to provide you with the skills and qualifications needed to participate in, as well as lead, international development teams in such companies.
Creating software solutions is creative work, and programming can be abstract. Mastering advanced software technology requires immersion and practice, and on this programme you get the tools to do that. That is why our BSc in Software Development is a full-time programme, which - in addition to the classic computer science courses in programming, algorithms, data structures and databases - also includes courses in user-centred design, business processes and management.
The programme is in Danish.
With a bachelor degree in Software Development you have direct access to the MSc programmes:
Meet Theodor who studies Software Development, and learn about the programme and the study life at ITU. English subtitles available.
To study the BSc in Software Development, you must have a flair for logic and mathematics and have good linguistic abilities, since you will be working with communication and business processes in addition to software programming. Software development also challenges your analytic abilities. Project work is an important part of studying at the IT University, and it is therefore important, that you are motivated towards collaborating with other students.
»In my experience, the teachers are very committed and there is a strong academic environment. The academic level is high, and the link between theory and practice gives a broad understanding of the subject matter. The balance between computer science, user- and process-oriented subjects and projects makes you feel equipped to solve IT problems out in the real world.Michael Valentin Erichsen, Software development student «

Software Development is 3-year full time Bachelor's degree. Each academic year is divided into two semesters. For each semester, you will typically follow two courses plus a course with an integrated project.
The programme is concluded with a bachelor project, which many of our students choose to do in collaboration with a company.

What do you dream about? And how does your choice of education fit into your dreams? Here you can hear what Melissa is dreaming about and how it led her to study a bachelor in Software Development at the IT University.
As a Software Development student, you can study part of your programme at a university abroad. The IT University has exchange agreements with universities in a number of countries such as Australia, China, France, England, Iceland and India. Here are a few examples:
A student exchange abroad can provide you with academic and personal development, and can, in addition to giving you a unique academic profile, strengthen your linguistic abilities and deepen your understanding of other cultures. It can provide you with an international network for life and make you even more attractive to the business community.
»”A student exchange gives you a bigger chance to stand out from the crowd and show that you’re independent, creative, ambitious and not scared of a challenge. You strengthen your academic core and gain valuable experience with cross-cultural collaboration. It is a giant scoop for any IT company. To me, the chance to experience the world via Paris and gain friends from e.g. France, India, South Korea and Syria has been invaluable.” Software development student Jens Egholm Pedersen «

»Make sure to pay attention in all your courses, not just those that are technically challenging. Although working in IT is about managing technically challenging and complex problems, it is important to have skills in communication, business and organisation. That will help you effectively understand and familiarise yourself with the client's working procedures and needs, and help you communicate how a given IT solution can optimise their business.Søren Engel, Senior Developer with Netcompany A/S«
