Apply for admission

Computer Science (IT) is an education made for both Danish students and students from abroad (IT means “international track”) and every part of the programme is taught in English. Please notice, that this education is not the same as the?Computer Science?education which is only taught in Danish.

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.

If you are unsure whether your bachelor's degree gives access to the master's program in Computer Science (IT), you are welcome to contact the?Study Secretary, Ulla ?land.

Specialisations

The students can?choose between two specialisations on the 2nd semester:

  • Information Technology (IT)
  • Computer Science (CS)

The Study Board?highly recommends?that students without a background in formal computer science and/or programming language design and compiler construction?follow the IT track, in order to gain these specific competencies.?

Please find detailed information on the specialisations and courses in the?Curriculum for the Master's Programme in?Computer Science (IT)?under Overview of the programme (§18).

Academic content

In the following, you may read more about the individual semesters, courses and projects on the master's programme in Computer Science (IT).

Compulsory for all non-AAU bachelors

All bachelors enrolled in the programme who have not obtained their bachelor's degree from Aalborg University must take part in a course on problem based learning (PBL) as part of the 1st semester project. In case non-AAU bachelors get credit transfer for the 1st semester, they will be asked to take part in a course ensuring that they are trained in working according to the PBL-model.?Read more about PBL here.

In the?Curriculum for the Master's Programme in?Computer Science (IT),?you may?find details on courses and projects as well as information on the programme’s legal basis, etc.

Two tracks

The programme has two?tracks:?Information Technology (IT) and Computer Science (CS). Each track will give the student a coherent profile, and the students must choose their preferred track on the 2nd semester.

Semester descriptions

Traineeship

In the 3rd semester of the master’s programme in Computer Science (IT), you have the opportunity to go abroad or spend your semester in a company.

Aalborg University cooperates with a range of universities across the world and has well-established contacts in industry both in regards to student projects and company internships. The International Office at Aalborg University may assist you with guidance, but you must make your own preparations, incl. checking whether you need advanced credit transfer, looking for accommodation, checking up on insurance, visa and possible needed vaccinations, and, if relevant, how to avoid a lapse of your Danish residence permit.
