Introduction days

Welcome to the start of studies at the IT University of Copenhagen!

For new bachelor's and master's students, we organize introduction days where you will meet your tutors and new fellow students. These days offer both social activities and academic insights, allowing you to get to know the study environment and your fellow students.

On this page, you can also read more about starting as an exchange or guest student.

For bachelor's students

ITU welcomes you to the Introduction Days for new bachelor's students from 17-19 August 2026, followed by an intro party on Friday, 21 August, and the Freshers' Festival on Saturday, 5 September.

The Introduction Days give you a social, academic and practical insight to the life as a student at ITU. You will be greeted by your tutors, the Rector and get a change to meet your Head of Programme. During the Introduction Days you will work on an academic intro-days-project and the focus will also be on spending cozy and informal time together with your new fellow students. The Study and Career Guidance will tell you about rules, regulations and your possibilities as a university student.

You will receive more information in the welcoming letter if you get accepted to one of our programmes.

My study start was really great. You get a good impression of the place and learn the basic academic things you need when starting at university.
