Every time a software system solves a task, it helps us make smarter decisions or frees up time, so we don’t spend life on repetitive routines. Today—and especially in the future—is the software that makes our lives easier, freer, and safer. It is software that benefits people, and it is found in everything from smartphones, chatbots, and smart home equipment for optimized public administration. Previously, software was limited to the computer science used in a variety of workplaces. Now it's everywhere. So we need skilled software engineers who can develop and manage the complex software solutions found in all of society’s most important processes, while safeguarding our privacy. If you choose to study Software Technology, your computer will become your lab where you can find answers to the world’s important questions. Here you can work for a greener future by developing solutions that save energy or streamline heavy work processes. You can safeguard our private data with an innovative software tool, or you can use artificial intelligence or algorithms to optimize processes in production, traffic, administration, or healthcare. In a mix of theory and hands-on work, Software Technology prepares you for developing the great software solutions the world is waiting for.

Danish language requirement
In all Danish-language civil engineering and engineering majors, it is a requirement that your Danish qualifications are equivalent to a Danish A-level from upper secondary school. This is called the Danish language requirement. The Danish language requirement applies to those who apply with a foreign entrance examination.
In the Danish-language civil engineering majors, the Danish A-level is included as one of the specific entrance requirements. Fulfilling the Danish A-level by passing a subject in the Danish A-level also fulfills the Danish language requirement.
In engineering majors, the Danish A-level is not included as one of the specific entrance requirements and the Danish language requirement is therefore relevant if you apply on the basis of a foreign entrance examination.
How to meet Danish language requirements/Danish A-level
The requirement for Danish A-level is fulfilled by Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Icelanders by passing Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Icelandic at an equivalent level. Faroese can fulfil the requirement for Danish A by passing Danish or Faroese at an equivalent level. Greenlanders can fulfil the requirement for Danish A by passing Danish at an equivalent level.
The Danish language proficiency test
is considered equivalent to the Danish A-level. The Danish language proficiency test is the final exam for Danish language education 3, module 6. It is the highest level in the Danish language education system. The Danish language proficiency test is an exam at C1 level. The Danish language proficiency test must be passed with at least a 2 in each of the three disciplines.
The Danish primary school leaving exam
Danish applicants with a foreign admission basis (e.g. IB) who have previously passed the Danish primary school and received a full leaving certificate, and who were raised in a Danish-speaking home, can obtain an exemption from the requirement for Danish at A-level if they submit documentation of their leaving certificate.
Prior learning assessment certificate with full recognition in Danish A
If you have skills that correspond to Danish A, you have the opportunity to get an Individual Competence Assessment (IKV) at a VUC.
English language requirement
For admission to the English-language bachelor's degree in General Engineering, all applicants with a foreign degree must meet the English language requirement. Even if you meet the requirement for English at B level from your foreign upper secondary education, you must still take an English test when applying for admission to General Engineering. If you have a Danish entrance exam, please note that you cannot take a language test instead of taking a supplementary course. The English language requirement can be met by documenting completion of the tests below with a test result above the minimum score.
