IT University of Copenhagen (ITU)

IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) is Denmark's newest and most focused university, dedicated entirely to IT and software-related fields. Founded in 1999, ITU is not ranked in general QS world rankings but is highly respected within Europe for its specialized programs in computer science, games, data science, software engineering, digital design, and innovation management. The university operates from a single modern campus in Ørestad, Copenhagen — adjacent to the Copenhagen Metro and within 15 minutes of the city center.

For non-EU students, ITU charges DKK 90,000–120,000/year (approximately $13,500–$18,000). All master's programs are taught in English. ITU's small size (~3,500 students) creates an intensive community-focused learning environment, with strong project-based learning traditions. The university has close industry ties with Danish tech companies and Copenhagen's rapidly growing startup ecosystem. ITU graduates enter Denmark's highest-demand job market — IT professionals are in acute shortage across Danish private and public sectors.
