Testimonials

*****

The reasons I chose to study here is because Roskilde University encourages interdisciplinary studies, allowing students to explore a wide range of topics and fields. The university is known for its student-centered approach to learning, which includes problem-based and project-based learning. The university has a diverse student body and offers various international programs, contributing to a rich and multicultural learning experience. Roskilde University is recognized for its high-quality academic programs and excellent faculty members. But the university has limited courses, certain specialized fields are not represented. Roskilde University is located outside of Copenhagen, which may be a downside for students who prefer to study in a more urban environment. Non-Danish-speaking students may face challenges adjusting to the language and cultural differences, although the university does offer support for international students.
