1. Academic requirements
The IT University of Copenhagen welcomes international students to apply for enrolment in two of our Master of Science (MSc) programmes: 'Media Technology and Games' and 'Software Development and Technology'.
In order to apply, international students must:
- Hold a Bachelor of Science degree in the areas of science or engineering (does not apply to the programme Media Technology and Games). Admission is highly competitive so international applicants with a Bachelor of Art degree cannot expect to be admitted.
- Meet the specified mandatory test requirements (TOEFL/IELTS and GRE) (see exemptions below in 2.Test requirements2)
The two above-mentioned MSc programmes are taught entirely in English. Therefore it is of the utmost importance that the students speak and write fluent English.
Furthermore, the students typically write at least one report each semester. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the students have experience in writing reports on an academic level, and that the students know how to meet the academic standards required for any academic written work.
An application must therefore include:
- A copy of your BSc diploma/bachelor diploma including a transcript of grades. The copy (copies) must be verified by your educational institution (official stamp and original signature), by a public authority, or by the Royal Danish Embassy or a Royal Danish Consulate in your country
- Documentation for the specified test requirements (TOEFL/IELTS and GRE)
Sent direct from the test centres to the IT University (see exemptions in 2. Test requirements2) - A personal letter of motivation
(no more than one page outlining your motivation for applying - see the "Instruction" for the application form).
| 2. Test requirements International applicants must submit GRE scores from the GRE General test, and TOEFL or IELTS scores. Without these test we shall not consider your application. Applicants who have earned their BSc degree in a country in the European Union or in Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, the United States of America, Canada, Australia or New Zealand are exempted from the tests. Please find further information about the tests and information about how to register: Applicants must have achieved a minimum TOEFL score of 230 (Computer-Based ®TOEFL Test) or 573 (Paper-Based ®TOEFL Test), or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5. Internet based TOEFL Tests must have a minimum score of 89. The IT University of Copenhagen will not consider an application until we have received your official test scores direct from the test centres. This also applies to tests taken previously, e.g. a year ago. Test results must not be more than two years old.
To register for the tests, contact a TOEFL test centre7 or IELTS test centre8, and contact a GRE test centre9. Applicants should register for tests as soon as possible as the number of test dates and seats at each test centre is limited. Please note that the IT University of Copenhagen reserves the right to demand that international students pass a fresh TOEFL or IELTS test in Copenhagen within the first semester if we consider a student's English to be less than fluent. |
| 3. Semester start International students who are offered enrolment at the IT University of Copenhagen must be able to come to Copenhagen and attend lessons from the first day of the semester (i.e. the introduction day at the latest). International students are to present themselves at the Student Administration Office in order for the enrolment to become effective. Go to top6 |
4. Tuition fees, scholarships and residence permit (applicants from outside EU/EEA)
Students from countries within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) are not charged tuition fees.
Students on bilateral exchange programmes are not charged tuition fees.
Students who started studying at the IT University January 2006 or earlier, will not be charged tuition fees during the entire length of their studies.
Students from countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) are charged tuition fees. Tuition fees for students enrolled in the full-degree MSc programmes amount to DKK 84,600 per year (i.e. a total of DKK 169,200 for the full two years of study).
The IT University of Copenhagen offers state scholarships to three or four exceptionally talented applicants (full-degree students) from outside EU and EEA every year. Applicants cannot apply for the scholarships. The scholarships consist of free tuition and partly covering of living expenses. The IT University considers all admitted students for the scholarships and informs the students chosen for the scholarships in their letter of admission.
Apart from tuition fees, students will have to cover living expenses (e.g. accommodation, meals, transport, books etc.) during their stay in Denmark.
The Danish Immigration Service will ask students from outside the Nordic countries and EU/EEA countries to demonstrate funds corresponding to DKK 50,000 before issuing a residence permit.
Please find further information about residence permit in the Practical Guide for New International Students10 (the document "Practical Guide for New International Students, Part 1: Preparing Your Stay in Denmark", chapter 6), and on the website of the Danish Immigration Service11. ¶ 09:38
