Overview

Computer Science (IT) is an education made for both Danish students and students from abroad (IT means “international track”) and every part of the Computer Science (IT) programme of Aalborg University is taught in English.

Computer Science (IT) targets two types of students:

Bachelors in Information Technology with Specialisation in Technology from Aalborg University

International students with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering

You are also able to be enrolled to the master's program in Computer Science (IT) if you have a bachelor's degree in Data Science from Aalborg University, Aarhus University or the IT University in Copenhagen, or a bachelor's degree in Interaction Design from Aalborg University. A special agreement has been made between Aalborg University and UCN, so if you have a professional bachelor in Software Development and have completed courses in syntax and semantics as well as discrete mathematics, you are able to be enrolled.
