REGISTRATION AND STUDY ADMINISTRATIVE
Registration

Sign up for study activities at STADS Online Student Service within the announced registration period, as you can see on the Study administration homepage. Registration for project-exam: Please remember to confirm your registration by signing up for exam as a group when the group formation is final. The registration is through STADS Online Student Service When signing up for study activities, please be aware of potential conflicts between study activities or exam dates. The planning of 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.

ACADEMIC CONTENT
Overall objective

The project work is problem-oriented and must develop the student's skills in applying theories and methods within a defined academic topic. The project work involves a self-chosen problem in relation to one or more of the selected specializations. The project must give the student the opportunity to describe and reflect over independently performed work, in which complex issues are addressed.
