IT Product Development

专业介绍

The Master’s programme in IT Product Development is based at Aarhus University’s Department of Computer Science and is offered in collaboration with the Department of Engineering. Students take a combination of courses from both departments, covering topics related to computer science and industrial design.

The programme offers high-quality teaching delivered by a strong international team of researchers, all within an informal learning environment. Teaching consists of a mix of lectures and classes, supported by preparatory work in study groups.

In the first year of the programme, students take several required courses within the research priority areas of physical and spatial design, IoT and cloud computing, and augmented reality. These courses are followed by an innovation project. In the second year, students complete their master’s thesis. Elective courses allow students to specialise in fields such as advanced data management, multimodal interaction, interactivity, and computer mediation.

Prerequisites for admission

Applicants are expected to have acquired a thorough foundation in IT and industrial design during their bachelor’s programme. This should include knowledge of programming, systems and system development, physical design, basic electronics, as well as some experience in combining these disciplines.

As English is the language of instruction in all courses, all applicants are required to provide evidence of English language proficiency.
