In the Bachelor Study Programme in the Humanities you acquire broad knowledge within the Humanities field and expert knowledge in two bachelor subjects of your choice.
During the first 1½ years, you get an interdisciplinary introduction to key theories and methods within the Humanities field and you acquire knowledge of the subjects Linguistic Science, Literary Analysis, Journalism and Modern Media. In addition, you take courses in History, Cultural Studies, Educational Theory and Psychology.
During the last 1½ years, you specialise in two parallel bachelor subjects. One subject must be within the Humanities field, i.e. you choose between the following subjects:
* Communication Studies
* Cultural Encounters
* English
* German
You choose the other subject from largely all RUC bachelor subjects and preferably across the main areas, namely the Social Sciences, the Natural Sciences and the Humanities.The following bachelor subjects are currently offered in English at Roskilde University:
* BSc of Business Administration
* Business Studies
* Chemistry
* Communication Studies
* Computer Science
* Cultural Encounters
* English
* Environmental Biology
* German
* Geography
* International Studies
* Mathematics
* Molecular Biology
* Physics
* Technological and Socio-Economic Planning
The study process is organised into two parallel study activities: project work and courses.
The two forms of study, project work and course participation, each constitute 50% of the bachelor studies.
As a student, you meet a new culture that is significantly different than the one they are familiar with from your second level education or from another third level education. The difference lies particularly in the project work (and to a lesser degree in the courses) and consists of a high degree of participant-management, problem orientation and exemplification.
