Global and Development Studies offers cutting-edge academic training in analysing, assessing, and addressing current global changes and how they affect people’s lives around the world. Questions of justice, inequality, conflict, and sustainability as well as their effects on states, markets, and civil society will be central to your studies.

This interdisciplinary program merges chemistry and biology, using chemical tools and methods to explore and regulate biological systems. You'll engage with cutting-edge discoveries in Chemical Biology and gain expertise in organic chemistry, spectroscopy, cell biology, proteomics, and metabolomics. The curriculum includes training in good experimental practices (GxP) and data analysis, equipping you to conduct high-quality experiments and interpret complex data.

The program provides opportunities for specialization in various fields such as algorithms, programming frameworks, complex IT systems, data science, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, and virtual technologies

Environmental Science at Roskilde University is Denmark's unique interdisciplinary program that integrates natural and social sciences to address environmental challenges. Students gain a thorough understanding of biological systems at both individual and ecosystem levels, while also exploring how societal factors impact environmental issues. The program emphasizes the design and execution of experiments, equipping students with practical skills in environmental science.

EMGS is a 2-year Erasmus Mundus master’s programme offered in collaboration with London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Universität Leipzig, Universität Wien, Universytet Wroclawski, Universiteit Gent and Roskilde Universitet. The programme consists of one year of studies at two of the participating universities.

Studying International Politics and Governance provides you with a diverse international environment, featuring students and faculty from various countries. You will have straightforward access to staff and support for organizing both academic and social events. We encourage active engagement within your academic community, where your peers will not only become friends but also serve as valuable contacts in your professional network.

In the interdisciplinary programme, you will learn to apply mathematical modelling to societal challenges within health and disease development or the environment. You will train to analyse datasets of physical, biological, and chemical processes – be it the development of a pandemic disease, the growth of a cancer tumour or the spreading of microplastic in the environment – and develop mathematical models describing these processes. With the use of mathematics, you will learn to uncover patterns, generate new knowledge, and thus contribute to predict, optimise, and control diseases and pollution.

The MA programme in Media and Communication (MAC) offers you the theoretical knowledge, methodological skills, and practical experience needed to understand and manage the impact of digital media technologies on the communication of organisations. From international corporations and government institutions to NGOs and grassroot movements.

This program examines global urban planning through a Nordic perspective, focusing on sustainable urbanization. It covers topics like public space, mobility, citizen empowerment, and climate adaptation. Drawing insights from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, you will gain international and interdisciplinary knowledge on urban planning. You'll learn to analyze urban issues using qualitative, creative, and quantitative methods, including spatial visualization and geographic information systems.

Physics and Scientific Modelling offers training in experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods for solving problems in physics and related fields. The balance between these methods depends on your choices within the program.

This unique program in Denmark—and one of the few in Europe—focuses exclusively on social entrepreneurship, social innovation, and management. It prepares you to lead social innovation and entrepreneurship in various organizations, including socio-economic enterprises, public, private, and civil society sectors.
