You can have a maximum of 30 ECTS in courses related to software development. This includes courses that involve some form of programming but also courses on theoretical aspects of software development such as algorithms or software architecture. 

If you have studied a bachelor's program at ITU, you will also have direct access (called legal requirement) to one or more MSc programmes. You must still apply before the deadline 1 March, but you need not upload any application material.

Which MSc program you have legal requirements for may depend on when you were admitted to your bachelor's program. Read more here.

If you have studied a BSc at ITU, which does not provide legal requirements for this education, but you are still qualified to apply, then you can apply on an equal footing with applicants who have not studied a BSc from ITU. Find more information in the section below.

Please note, if you have previously been enrolled on a master level programme, without completing, it is your duty to upload a transcript together with course descriptions for the courses you passed (links or scanned documents). We must assess whether to give you a starting credit transfer on the basis of what you passed.

To be able to apply for the MSc programme in Software Design you need to upload the following application material. 

• Please fill in a Statement of Purpose. The Statement of Purpose template is currently being updated and will be available in January 2025.
  The Statement of Purpose must be written in English.

All applications that meet specific requirements for the programme will be assessed based by an overall evaluation. Your grades will account for 50% of the evaluation, while the overall assessment of your educational background and application materials will contribute the remaining 50%.
