Starting with the Introductory Days at the Roskilde University campus on 4th – 5th September 2023, we are looking forward to welcoming you at Global and Development Studies!

During the Introductory Days you will hear more about the structure and content of your degree program, attend academic presentations and social events, meet researchers and get to know your fellow students.

For your convenience, be aware that the room number should be read as follows: E.g. 07.2-033 = Building 7, 2. Floor, Room 33

If you are a new student at Roskilde University or just need some assistance with navigating the buildings and rooms on campus, you can find a map here.

Be aware not to confuse the Introductory Days with the Foundation Course, The Foundation Course specifically tailored for international students to help them get settled in Denmark and introduce them to the learning principles of Roskilde University. If we you are an international student, we strongly encourage you to participate in both programmes as they focus on different and equally important aspects of your studies at Roskilde University. You can read more about the Foundation Course and sign up here.
