Being a bachelor student
You are not alone

The tutors will introduce you to life as a student at Roskilde University, so that you have a good network when your study programme begins. The intro period lasts two weeks and prepares you for your new student life through several different activities. During the intro period, you and your fellow students will go on an off-campus trip which is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow students.
A new daily life
You will encounter a different structure to your daily life compared to what you might have been used to before. You will have fewer on-campus lessons and you will be challenged with higher demands of independent preparation for your courses.
Concurrently, you will begin your project work together with your group of fellow RUC-students. It’s up to you and the group to plan your own time and complete the necessary tasks in order to make progress throughout the semester – guided by one of the researchers from your programme.
