Bachelor in Economics and IT

The global development is creating a need for employees with practical understanding of the integration of IT into business administration. It will not suffice to rely exclusively on employees with qualifications limited to the fields of programming, systems maintenance or traditional business administration. Rather, the enterprises need employees with additional knowledge of the analytic, business-related and strategic significance of IT – employees whose outlook is practical and project oriented as well as cross-curricular, involving all members of the organisation. To fulfil that need, we have developed an International Bachelor Programme of Economics and IT with all courses taught in English.


Studying at SDU has been a wonderful experience so far, the university campus is well equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and our teachers are extremely helpful and great to work with. The university has a high standard of education and the course is deeply connected to practical working methods used in the economic and IT world – which is fantastic! My experience at SDU has been awesome and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to reap the rewards of an exciting challenge!
