ICTE IS THE PERFECT MATCH
"ICTE contains a nice mixture of theoretical fundamentals and practical implementations of exciting technologies, with a good amount of business and entrepreneurship. A large part of the education is project-based, meaning you have responsibility for your own learning, and you have a large influence in which topics and technologies you want to focus on.
ICTE is a technical education, which lets me be creative and innovative, while i get an engineer-technical introduction to many of the important technologies within the IT industry. The teachers are good at explaining the solutions that are currently used in large corporations, and at the same time they can introduce the newest and best solutions.
The education will give you a proffessional profile that can be used in many different industries, whether you want to work in infrastructure, software, security or business development.
I am aspiring to become an entrepreneur in the IT-sector, so for me ICTE is the perfect match."

Today, Bjørn is the managing director in his own company, Progressify Ltd.
ARE YOU A TEAM PLAYER?
Group work is an essential element at Aalborg University. Every semester, you will work on a big project together in a group. The semester project is typically around half of the study activity for each semester, so it is important that you can function well in groups and that you see yourself as a team player.
It can be challenging to work in groups, but the ability to do so is one of the capabilities that make AAU candidates very attractive for recruiters and companies.
ACademic environment
As a student of ICTE at Aalborg University Copenhagen, you become part of an academic environment shaped by interdisciplinary research and start-up companies, and we cooperate with a long list of organisations and authorities. We are situated in the former Nokia headquarter in Copenhagen, a building which now hosts both Aalborg University and many start-up companies formed e.g. by ex-Nokia employees. Our neighbourgs are other telecom-, media and software companies. Often, research projects at CMI are continued as start-up businesses. There are also often opportunities for you as a student to work with the start-up companies.
The ICTE study programme is provided by a research center within Aalborg University - Center for Media and Communication technologies (CMI) under the department of Electronic Systems at Aalborg University. What characterises our research at CMI is that it is interdisciplinary: engineers work together with colleagues from economy, law, political science and design. They carry out research within the fields of law and regulation, interaction design, Internet of Things and market analysis. Your semester projects at ICTE and the teaching in general reflects this interdisciplinary approach. We connect engineering with business, markets, legislation and users.
International atmosPHEre
We teach in English and we have an international atmosphere with researchers/teachers and students coming from all over the world. We have and have had students from more than 20 different countries. Software plays an ever-increasing role in our society and the solution to some of the largest challenges we currently face, e.g. climate changes.
Presentation of the ICTE programme
Nordic master in sustainable ICt solutions
This is a specialisation under the ICTE programme.
Software has an ever-increasing role in our society and in solving the greatest challenges humankind is facing at the moment, e.g. the climate change.
The double degree Nordic Master's Programme in Sustainable ICT Solutions of Tomorrow aims to produce experts that can design ethical, usable and privacy-aware software solutions for a sustainable future. The programme focuses on ICT and software knowledge, skills and competencies; the design, development and deployment of digital solutions and services; sustainable and ethical decisions; and user (human or machine) experience and privacy.
The programme gives competences in software development, technologies and system architecture, digitalisation, and innovation – all with a sustainable goal and underlying demand. Students can further specialise in sustainable digital transformations or innovation and digital sustainability.
The double degree Nordic Master's Programme in Sustainable ICT Solutions of Tomorrow is developed in cooperation with Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), Finland. The programme combines the software engineering education of LUT with the ICT engineering education of AAU. Students admitted to this double degree programme receive a degree certificate from two universities after they have fulfilled the degree requirements of both.
The 1st semester takes place in Finland at the Lappeenranta University of Technology. The 2nd semester takes place at AAU in Copenhagen, and the 3rd-4th semester will take place in either Finland or Denmark depending on the chosen specialisation, please see below.
You can specialise in one of two areas: sustainable software engineering or sustainable ICT services. The specialisations are offered during the third semester of the programme.
- The sustainable ICT solutions specialisation at Aalborg University Copenhagen builds on Internet technologies from a sustainable perspective.
- The sustainable software engineering specialisation at LUT is based on core studies of software engineering education and applies sustainable thinking.
Submit your application to this programme through either Aalborg University Copenhagen or LUT University admissions.
See more about the specialisation in the curriculum where you can find details about courses, information about legal aspects and more.

Student testimonial "The Nordic Master for Sustainable ICT Solutions of Tomorrow is a program aimed at building a nexus between the realm of IT and technology and sustainable development. This master is a great opportunity for those who are seeking to develop their technical background and skills with an orientation towards a mindful and green future. As a double degree you will get the experience of studying in LUT, one of Finland's leading sustainable universities and AAU, one of the world's leading engineering programs. Both universities bring their focus in software development and ICT, under the scope of project-based learning. This creates an education that is balanced between theory and practice and enables you to learn how to learn. You will also gain notions of business intelligence and entrepreneurship, to complement your scientific knowledge. As a professional, this will enable you to quickly pick up on the skills you might lack and make you a dynamic and flexible team player for tech and sustainability companies. My goal is to explore a future where technology brings future that is mindful, humanitarian and naturalist. For those like me, who are seeking to develop technology that creates a positive impact, Sustainable ICT Solutions is the right education for you!" Jacobo Domingo Gil, student |
