News from Roskilde University

Robert Habeck, Vice Chancellor and Minister for Climate and Economic Affairs in Germany, will be honoured as this year's honorary alumnus at Roskilde University's annual celebration.

1574 young people have been admitted to Roskilde University's bachelor programs, which is 25 percent more than last year. Three English language degree programs are admitting more students this year than ever before.

Roskilde University has been awarded the editorial role for the most esteemed journal in the field of public administration research worldwide. RUC is the first university outside the USA to receive this honour, following a period where Danish universities have risen among the leaders in the field.

The university's finances are under pressure. The Board has approved a number of initiatives to bring the finances back into balance.

Roskilde University is hosting the European Security and Defence College's (ESDC) flagship programme. This will be the first time a Danish institution hosts the course, with leaders and diplomats from 22 EU countries following the specialised training programme.
