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)
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. There are no specific requirements to the score in the GRE General test. The results from the different parts of the test will be considered as a whole.
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.
