Introduction to the programme
Mathematics is a subject which you will study as a part of your bachelor programme at Roskilde University.
Is it possible to design a mathematical model for depression? Why and how do you find new mathematics? Is it so difficult to foresee a financial crisis? These are some of the problem issues you can work with in Mathematics.
In this subject, you will learn about the core elements of mathematics and how to work with basic research in mathematics, mathematical didactics and mathematical models in areas such as physics, epidemiology and physiology. We combine the lectures’ systematic teaching of the core elements of mathematics with independent research’s quest for and learning of the mathematics required to solve a problem. That is how you learn mathematics that is not normally included on the syllabus lists and, more importantly, you learn how to familiarize yourself with new mathematics.
All teaching and project writing is conducted in English.
Your daily activities at the subject
The teaching is conducted in small groups in close dialogue with the teacher. The courses often involve the formation of smaller groups for calculation exercises. You will work on projects with 1-3 other students, and the project group constitutes an important academic and social basis for you. There is generally a high level of activity at the department, and you will have good study-related facilities at your disposal, including easy access to equipment, computers with specialized software and technical support.
From bachelor to master
A bachelor's degree from Roskilde University will provide access to study a master's programme. Depending on which subject(s) you choose as a part of your bachelor's programme, your degree will provide access to one or more of Roskilde University's master's programmes.
Admission requirements
- Mathematics at Danish A-level
Please notice: You must meet the admission requirements of the entire bachelor programme which you are applying for, not just the admission requirements of the subject.

Intro to Bioprocess Science (int)
The bachelor subject Bioprocess Science is an expanding interdisciplinary field that draws upon multiple areas of knowledge, but especially the molecular, environmental and medical biologic subjects together with chemistry. You will acquire a solid understanding of key theories and principles of bioprocess science including industrial processes, biological products, drug development together with screening and selecting organisms that are optimal for biological production of specified products for medical, industrial, aquaculture or agriculture application.
More about Bioprocess Science (int)How the programme is structured
A Bachelor in Mathematics (int) + Bioprocess Science (int) is part of an overall bachelor programme. You can choose between:
First year of studies
You will study the basic section of your programme. You will learn important aspects of disciplines relevant to your main academic area.
Second and third year of studies
You will specialise in one or two bachelor subjects.
When you combine two subjects, your time of studies will be divided equally among the two. If you study a single subject bachelor, your second and third year of studies will be spent on a single subject.
