Innovative Communication Technologies Entrepreneurship, Nordic master in sustainable ICT solutions - Closed for admission
The specialisation in Nordic master in sustainable ICT solutions is part of the Innovative Communication Technologies Entrepreneurship at Aalborg University.
This is a specialization under the ICTE programme.
Software plays an ever-increasing role in our society and in solving the biggest challenges we are currently facing, e.g. climate change.
This master's program in sustainable ICT solutions of the future aims to train experts who can design ethical, usable, and secure software solutions for a sustainable future where we protect privacy and confidential information. The education focuses on knowledge, skills and competences in ICT and software, design, development and implementation of digital solutions and services, sustainable and ethical decisions as well as user experience and privacy.
The education provides competences in software development, technologies and system architecture, digitization, and innovation - all with a sustainable goal as a fundamental demand. Students can specialize in sustainable digital transformations or innovation and digital sustainability.
It is a double-degree Nordic master's program in sustainable ICT solutions of the future, developed in collaboration with Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), Finland. The program combines the engineering education in software at LUT with the engineering education in ICT at AAU. Students admitted to this double-degree program receive a diploma from the two universities, provided they have met the requirements at both places.
The first semester of the program takes place at Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), Finland, while the second semester takes place at Aalborg University Copenhagen. Where the third and fourth semesters take place depends on the specialization that the student has chosen (see below).

Student testimonial
"The Nordic master's in sustainable ICT solutions of the future is an education which focuses on creating a connection between the IT world, technology and sustainable development. The training is a great opportunity for those who want to develop their technological skills and at the same time be oriented towards a mindful and green future. As it is a double-degree, you get to study both at LUT, one of Finland's leading universities in sustainability, and AAU, which is one of the best universities in the world in engineering.
Both universities contribute with their focus on software development and ICT within the framework of problem-based learning. This creates an education with a balance between theory and practice, and it teaches you how to learn. As a supplement, you will also receive training in business intelligence and entrepreneurship. It gives you the skills to quickly acquire knowledge that you may lack when you enter a new workplace. In this way, you become a flexible team player in tech companies and companies that focus on sustainability.
My goal is a future where technology brings out the best and is mindful, humanitarian, and naturalistic. For those who feel like me and want to develop the technology to create a positive impact, then the course in Sustainable ICT solutions is the right one!”
