Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering is a 3-year program (180 ECTS). Good skills in Faroese, English and Scandinavian languages are necessary. Requirements for applying are one of the following (Danish subject levels):

1. Matriculation exam with mathematics at B- or A-level.

2. The average grade of at least 4 at B-level or 2 at A-level in mathematics according to the 7-step scalar (7-trinsskalaen).

3. Students that do not meet the requirements can apply in quota 2, where they will be evaluated on other skills and experiences.

Bachelor of Science in Energy Engineering

Bachelor of Science in Energy Engineering is a 3.5-year program (210 ECTS). This program includes a half year of work placement in industry. The program is taught in Faroese, Danish and English so enough knowledge in these languages is expected. Requirements for applying are one of the following:

1. Matriculation exam with

1. an average of 6 in at A-level according to the 7 step scalar (7-trinsskalaen),

2. physics at B-level and
