International students

If you are an International student and you do not have a Danish social security number (called CPR-number), you need to register at ITU in order to get your ITU-login. You do this at the IT Department.

As you need your ITU-login for a number of things, e.g. your ITU-email, we advise you to come by the IT Department as fast as possible after arriving in Denmark.

Remember to bring valid photo identification, e.g. your passport.

Depending on whether you are a Nordic citizen, an EU/EEA citizen or a non-EU/EEA citizen, there are different registration procedures upon your arrival in Denmark. However, the common requirement for all citizens is the need to register for a Danish social security number (CPR-number). Find more information below.

The CPR-number is your personal social security number which gives you the right to medical treatment free of charge while living in Denmark.

The CPR-number is needed for a number of things where you need to identify yourself, e.g. creating a bank account, registering a user account at the Public Libraries and in general in all contact with Public Administration.

Once you have your CPR-number you must make sure to go to the Student Affairs and Programmes Front Desk at the IT-University so they can register your CPR-number. Read more below about the different registration procedures.
