We create and share knowledge that is profound and leads to ground-breaking information technology and services for the benefit of humanity.
The IT University has 3 core values that serve as a guideline for the daily work at the university:
The IT University of Copenhagen was established in 1999 as a free faculty at Copenhagen Business School. The free faculty was called IT-højskolen and the main goal was to increase the number of research-based IT study programmes in Denmark.
In connection with the University Act of July 2003 IT-højskolen became an independent university and changed name to the IT University of Copenhagen. Together with universities in the west of Denmark the IT University of Copenhagen was commissioned to produce new graduate study programmes about IT. The study programmes was to be targeted students with bachelor degree in a field unrelated to IT. Furthermore there was to be created master and diploma study programmes at a high academic level as further education for professionals working with IT. Last but not least the universities were to do research in IT at an international level.

Har taget en kandidat i Digital Design og kommunikation her og kan varmt anbefale det - især hvis man ønsker en lidt mere praktisk kandidatuddannelse. Rigtig fed uddannelse med god kombi af teori og praksis, mange brugbare metoder og værktøjer og spændende, dygtige studerende. Man skal være indstillet på et fuldtidsstudie, men til gengæld bliver man klædt super på til jobmarkedet.
