Overview

You’ll learn software development, product design, prototyping, augmented reality (AR), and more. No programming experience is required, as you’ll start from scratch. User research will be a key part of your projects, helping you develop innovative digital and physical products. You’ll also explore how creativity and logic combine as you turn ideas into working prototypes, whether for smart home tech, health devices, or interactive entertainment.

The IT Product Developement program from Aarhus University offers a mix of lectures, group work, and hands-on projects, with opportunities to collaborate with companies on real-world challenges. Located in the vibrant IT-city Katrinebjerg, you’ll be part of a dynamic community of over 3,000 IT students, with plenty of academic and social events to join.

If you’re passionate about technology and design, IT Product Development will help you bring your ideas to life.

Career opportunities:

• As a graduate of IT Product Development, you can, for example, work as a product developer, project manager, or design process manager. 
• The specialisations you choose during your studies will influence the type of jobs you most likely will get.
•  If you specialise in product design, for example, it is a clear-cut path for you to work with the design of physical products within IT, such as interactive products and installations, while you will work with the development of software systems and web services if you specialise in software. With a specialisation in business, you can work in economics, project management, business models, and strategy.

Student visas for United States

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in United States a little easier and more enjoyable.

Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa. Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in the U.S. yes- you’ll definitely need an F-1 visa.
• Start exploring the official website of the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.
• Check the deadlines. The visa process takes time, and missing a step or delaying your interview could mean missing your semester start. Not the kind of plot twist you want.
• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt. Passport, I-20 form, DS-160 confirmation, SEVIS fee receipt, bank statements, academic transcripts yes, the list is long, and yes, you’ll need every piece.
• Start saving up. You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in the U.S. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, and possibly even your daily caffeine habits.
• Enhance your English skills, even if you’ve already taken  IELTS, Duolingo etc.  Strong language proficiency will benefit both your visa interview and academic success.

All in all, getting your F-1 visa might feel like a lot, but it’s a big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
