For you, as an EU citizen, tuition is zero. Denmark does not charge tuition fees to students from the EU/EEA/Switzerland. A non-European student would pay ~€8,250 per semester (almost €49,500 for a 3-year bachelor), but you pay nothing.

The only real cost is living in Copenhagen, an expensive city: roughly €12,000-€16,000 per year (accommodation €650-€1,000/month, food €300-€400/month, transport €50-€70/month). Part of this can be covered through the SU grant and through a part-time job.

ITU has 4 bachelors (BSc), but for international students only BSc Data Science is open, in English. Global Business Informatics is in English, but it does not accept international applicants; Software Development and Digital Design are in Danish.

For Data Science you need IELTS 6.5+ (or equivalent). The Danish-taught programs require advanced Danish, which for a Romanian without Danish is a real barrier. Our recommendation for Romanian students is BSc Data Science.

All Danish bachelors are applied for through the national portal Optagelse.dk, part of KOT (Den Koordinerede Tilmelding, Denmark's coordinated admission system). For applicants with a foreign diploma, such as the Romanian Baccalaureate, the deadline is 15 March, 12:00 noon CET, earlier than for Danes (July).

You apply online, upload your Baccalaureate diploma and transcript, your language proof (IELTS) and, for Quota 2, a motivation letter. You can choose several programs in order of preference.

Denmark selects through two paths. Quota 1: you qualify exclusively on your Baccalaureate grade average, converted to the Danish scale (7-trin, from -3 to 12). If your average is high enough, you get in directly.

Quota 2: in addition to the average, additional criteria are assessed, such as a motivation letter, relevant experience, possibly tests. Quota 2 is a second chance if your average is not enough for Quota 1. For Romanians we recommend preparing the Quota 2 component thoroughly as well, especially for competitive programs like Data Science.

For the English-taught program open to international students (Data Science), ITU requires IELTS 6.5+ or an equivalent TOEFL, in line with the Danish "English B" requirement. You must demonstrate that you can follow the courses entirely in English.

Exception: if your high school was taught in an officially recognized English language, you may be exempted from the English test. For Romanian students, the safest approach is to take IELTS early, at least a year before the 15 March deadline.

Yes, it is possible. SU (Statens Uddannelsesstøtte) is the Danish state's monthly grant, roughly 5,000 DKK per month. As an EU citizen, you do not receive SU automatically just because you study, but you become eligible if you obtain EU worker status: that is, you have a part-time job of at least 10-12 hours per week, sustained over a period (generally 10 consecutive weeks before applying).

In practice, many Romanian students in Denmark take a student job and then apply for SU, combining the grant with income from work to cover their living costs in Copenhagen.

The bachelor at ITU lasts 3 years (180 ECTS), according to the European Bologna system, one year less than in many other European countries where bachelors last 4 years.

About rankings, be realistic: ITU is a small university specialized exclusively in IT, so it does not appear high in general rankings, which favor large multidisciplinary universities. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026 for Computer Science, ITU is in the 651-700 range worldwide. Its real value lies in its pure focus on digital and its ties to the Danish tech scene, not in an overall ranking position.

Yes, as an EU citizen. Unlike the USA or the United Kingdom where you need a work visa, as a Romanian (EU) citizen you can work freely in Denmark, without a work permit, both during your studies and after graduation.

Copenhagen is a strong tech hub (companies like Maersk and Novo Nordisk on the digital side, plus numerous startups and software and gaming companies). ITU graduates are highly sought after in software, data science and digital design. With a Danish degree recognized across the EU, you can then work anywhere in the European Union without a visa.
