Worth knowing

ITU offers four bachelor's degrees but only two are taught in English.

All 5 notes
  • ITU offers four bachelor's degrees but only two are taught in English. BSc Software Development is taught in Danish and requires Danish A; BSc Digital Design and Interactive Technologies is mainly Danish (only the second year is taught entirely in English) and also requires Danish A. Neither is listed here.
  • Read the Danish requirement carefully: BSc Global Business Informatics is taught in English but still demands Danish at A level as a passed subject, so in practice it is open only to applicants who have studied Danish. ITU's own BSc overview page says "only the programme in Data Science is open to international students".
  • BSc Data Science is the one ITU degree an IB student from outside Denmark can realistically enter — 73 per cent of the students admitted in 2026 were international.
  • ITU has a summer intake only; there is no February start at bachelor's level.
  • From the 2027 admission round ITU requires an overall GPA of at least 6.0 on the Danish 7-point scale for BSc Software Development. Check whether a similar floor has been added to the English-taught degrees before applying.
