Introduction: Master student at Roskilde University
Become a problem solver
You will learn to ask the right questions
To solve a problem, you need to learn how to ask the right questions. You learn this through project work. You go into detail and investigate a problem issue that you and your project group have chosen yourselves. You'll be guided through the process by one of our talented researchers. You will work with others who are passionate about the same things you are, and you'll have an opportunity to get to the heart of the solutions.
You will become an interdisciplinary specialist
Real-life problems can rarely be solved by one discipline alone. That's why strong interdisciplinary elements are incorporated into all our programmes, equipping you to tackle society's complex challenges. This means that you will gain deep professional knowledge, become familiar with scientific theories and methods from more than one subject, and understand and apply the working methods of different disciplines.
Tackle real-life issues
You will learn to manage projects
Roskilde University's own educational model, Problem-oriented Project Learning, teaches you to manage a project within a time frame, for example in collaboration with companies, authorities, NGOs or organisations. You will learn to apply your academic knowledge to develop solutions to real-life problems. At Roskilde University, you will train yourself to make a difference.
You will be ready for the job market
Make yourself attractive to employers with an education that goes hand in hand with business. Roskilde University's master's programmes have been designed in collaboration with the world around us, and they are aimed at those who dream of pursuing a meaningful career. Project work, internships and work placements mean your career can start while you're still studying.
