World-class Department of Computer Science: Meet four spinouts excelling in INCUBA

The Department of Computer Science at Aarhus University ranks among the world's best in cryptography, programming languages and a wide range of computer science fields. This international top ranking not only attracts researchers and students from all over the world, but also creates a strong link between the university and the business community. From 2025, the educational opportunities will be further expanded with two new international bachelor's programmes in Computer Science and IT Product Development, as well as a master's programme that combines studies with relevant work in IT companies.

The close collaboration between the Department of Computer Science and INCUBA makes it possible to turn groundbreaking research into commercial successes. INCUBA serves as an innovative entrepreneurial environment where students and researchers can develop ideas, test prototypes and find sparring with mentors, investors and experienced business leaders. Examples of successful spinouts include Partisia, Coana, Kvantify and Scalgo, all of which have utilised the synergies of being located close to both research and business development.

For students, this means a wide range of opportunities for relevant student jobs and project collaborations where they can put theory into practice. This close connection between research and business is further strengthened by events such as the Digital Innovation Festival, the MatchPoints conference and the Digital Tech Summit, which brings together players from both research and industry.
