Registration is happing through stads selvbetjeningwithin the announced registration period, as you can see on the Studyadministration homepage.

When registering for courses, please be aware of the potential conflicts between courses or exam dates on courses. The planning of course activities at Roskilde University is based on the recommended study programs which do not overlap. However, if you choose optional courses and/or study plans that goes beyond the recommended study programs, an overlap of lectures or exam dates may occur depending on which courses you choose.

Projects should be done in the area of computer science

Project and group formation takes place in the first week of the semester. Projects should be done in groups of 2-6 students

Project work will have a total workload of 420 hours. 40 hours are spent on project formation and around 40 hours for the exam and preparation for the exam. During the project period, there are 15 hours of project formation workshops and internal evaluation and groups of 4 students can expect 15 hours of supervision during their project.
