About the programme

Program and develop IT systems with back-end focus!

Studying Computer Science, you will work with software solutions and learn to do so on the basis of your understanding of the business behind them and the value which your specific solution is supposed to deliver. You will also learn how to do team-based work where communication and knowledge sharing are vital for success.

As an exchange student you may join our Academy profession degree programme in Computer Science for selected semesters. All subjects are taught in English.

Semesters currently open for exchange

Available: Fall semester 2024
Start of term: August/September
Total ECTS: 30

Programming: 10 ECTS

Programming will move from Java to the Microsoft platform ‘.Net’ which uses the C# programming language. You will be comfortable with basic as well as advanced programming techniques. This is where you will move on to making distributed software systems with a service-oriented architecture. You will continue to work with advanced programming techniques and how software services are consumed through e.g. web applications.

Systems development: 10 ECTS

Systems development will turn to more agile principles. You will work on development methods such as SCRUM, Kanban and eXtreme Programming and more. Parts of the semester are organised to allow you to work on practical SCRUM iterations.

Technology: 10 ECTS

The technology subject supports the programming subject with the required theory and practical exercises on network concepts related to distributed systems. You will also work on virtualising IT systems and central security concepts and threats.

You will study a full semester

You will need to follow the full semester and obtain the 30 ECTS that the semester offers.

It is not possible to mix courses from different semesters and different programmes or to be exempt from single subjects. This is because all our subjects and modules are interwoven. This way you will learn to apply all your skills and competences to solve more complex problems.

Start of term: September
Total ECTS: 30

Programming: 20 ECTS

The Programming subject is focused on object-oriented programming, in which you will be working on building classes, interaction between objects and various data structures. Furthermore, focus will be on sorting algorithms as well as various programming design patterns. In semester 1, you will be using the Java programming language.

Systems development: 5 ECTS

For systems development, you will be working on software architectural designs to ensure a solid foundation for your programming. You will also be working on how to plan your development work and preparing the required documentation.

Organisation theory (business): 5 ECTS

The subject of organisation theory is fundamentally about business understanding and about how IT solutions create value and growth within a business. You will also be considering the role of IT staff within an organisation.

Start of term: February
Total ECTS: 30

Programming: 10 ECTS

The subject of programming takes a look at more advanced programming techniques, which include graph algorithms, tree structures and thread programming. It will also include in-depth database work, including best practice for purposeful database design. In semester 2, you will use Java and Microsoft SQL database programming languages.

Systems development: 10 ECTS

Systems development continues working with the principles from semester 1 and connects database design with architectural considerations. Furthermore, emphasis is on quality assurance of your software product using various quality assurance mechanisms, including unit testing and integration testing.

Organisation theory (business): 5 ECTS

The subject of organisation theory will shift its focus to how logistic challenges can be handled using software systems. You will be working on innovation and how innovative efforts are best handled within an organisation. In addition, you will look at IT security, including risk analysis.

Technology: 5 ECTS

The new subject of Technology in this semester is about building knowledge of operating systems, database systems and synchronization issues in programming. The subject closely supports the Programming subject with exercises and theoretical models for algorithm design.

Start of term: September
Total ECTS: 30

Programming: 10 ECTS

Systems development: 10 ECTS

Technology: 10 ECTS

Start of term: February
Total ECTS: 30

Semester 4 is intended for students to acquaint themselves with technologies and techniques on the basis of their own interests, and very often inspired by the local businesses.

You will have time for studying one or more particular fields of your interest in depth, or you can study different topics more broadly. This semester is run in close cooperation with the local business community which will allocate time and resources for giving real-life assignments to the students.

Electives / Specialisations: 30 ECTS

Start of term: September
Total ECTS: 30

Internship (10 weeks): 15 ECTS

Students will do a half-semester internship with a company of their choice. You will be part of the daily operations of your internship host company and doing tasks that are relevant to your education.

Final AP degree project: 15 ECTS

After the internship, you will write up your final AP degree project based on a real-life problem or issue. This will give you the opportunity to test and showcase all the competencies you acquired during studies.

Evaluations and exams

You can find information about the specific exams in each semester in the programme's full curriculum.

As an exchange student you will need to take all exams that are planned during the semester on the same terms as students following the full-degree programme. You can find more information in our examination regulations.

In Denmark students are evaluated on the basis of a 7-point grading scale. Learn more about the Danish grading system and how it translates.
