Be part of driving the IT efforts at Denmark's largest university as an Application Specialist in KU IT

At the same time, you will work in a professional environment where cross-functional collaboration, sparring and development are highly valued, and where everyone contributes to the University of Copenhagen's goal of being a world-class university.

Your tasks and focus areas will span a wide range. KU IT works with integrations between KU’s systems, and you will therefore build solid knowledge of integrations across KU’s many systems and assist with, among other things, troubleshooting, operational and development tasks.
