Computer science
AP DegreeThe Computer Science course is highly demanded by businesses. You learn how to work with system development and programming.
The Computer Science course is comprised of a wide range of subjects that combine software development and programming. A computer scientist has broad knowledge within system development and system construction and is employed by companies to work with development, implementation and operation of IT systems.
You get skilled in coding, but you also learn about company structures and get an overview of complex databases and tools for supporting users of systems.
The Computer Science course is a further training course with five semesters. The course has compulsory subjects, electives, an internship and a final exam assignment.
The following are compulsory subjects:
- Programming
- System Development
- Technology
- Organisational Theory
The electives are based on current technologies and relevant knowledge.
Internship
You have an internship in Semester Five. You decide yourself if this is with a company in Denmark or with a company abroad.

Admission requirements
You need to have completed one of the following courses to be admitted to the Computer Scientist course:
- A-levels or a high school diploma, Higher Preparatory Examination Course, Higher Commercial Examination, Higher Technical Examination or a combined vocational and general upper secondary education
- Vocational training of at least three years’ duration
- Entrance exam for the engineering courses
Notice: You must have passed maths at B level and english at B level if you want the english course.
Places on the AP programmes in Computer Science and Multimedia Design are allocated in Quota 1 and 2.
Quota 1
Citizens from EU and EEA with an upper secondary education / high school) –can be assessed in this quota. This requires that your upper secondary school exam can be equated to a Danish upper secondary school exam.
You will only be assessed on basis of the result of your grade point average (GPA) from your upper secondary education. You must upload your diploma to your application at optagelse.dk. We will convert your GPA to the Danish 7-point grading scale.
Quota 2
Two different groups of applicants can apply through quota 2:
- You have other qualifications than an upper secondary education, e.g. a vocational training exam.
- You have an upper secondary education: If your GPA is not high enough for admission in quota 1, you can apply through quota 2 and be assessed on your other qualifications as well. Your application will automatically be assessed in quota 1 simultaneously, so you only have to apply for each programme once.
When applying in quota 2, you must attach documentation of the qualifications you want to be assessed on and a motivation letter.
In your application, you do not need to specify whether you are applying in quota 1 or 2. If you have attached documentation of qualifications and a motivation letter, you will be assessed in quota 2 and also in quota 1 if you fulfil the requirements.
*The international application deadline for both quota 1 & quota 2 is 15 March at 12.00.
