Roskilde University was originally established in order to challenge academic traditions and to experiment with new ways to create and acquire knowledge. At RUC we cultivate a project and problem oriented approach to knowledge creation, because we believe that the most relevant results are obtained by solving real problems in collaboration with others. We employ an interdisciplinary approach because no major problems are ever resolved on the basis of any single academic discipline alone. We also cultivate transparency, because we passionately believe that participation and knowledge-sharing are prerequisites for freedom of thought, democracy, tolerance and development.
We shall create the opportunities that no one can yet imagine. We must also help to develop sustainable solutions to the major challenges we will face in the future, both nationally and globally, in areas such as the environment, inequality, democracy, health and cultural coexistence.
Roskilde University is a Magna Charta Universitatum member institution. The Magna Charta Universitatum is a document that was signed by 388 rectors and heads of universities from all over Europe and beyond on 18 September 1988, the 900th anniversary of the University of Bologna. The document contains principles of academic freedom and institutional autonomy as a guideline for good governance and self-understanding of universities in the future. Academic freedom is the foundation for the independent search for truth and a barrier against undue intervention for both government and interest groups.
As a research library RUb is responsible for providing Roskilde University staff and students access to information and materials needed for research, teaching and learning. Since RUb also is a public library, regional research and educational institutions, businesses and citizens are free to enjoy our many materials and services.
Roskilde University library (RUb) is located just off the RU main entrance and is built as an open, bright and welcoming library space. RUb is specially designed to be a workspace for students and staff at the Roskilde University - and in the best possible way accompany them in their studies.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Choose this university if you are a curious, hard-working, critical person, who likes to be challenged by being highly responsible for your own success. Project-work is a great preparation for being able to (inter)act on the labor market nowadays. You get what you give!

The most diverse university I've ever experienced. Further more I love the job the volunteers do to make campus more of a society as a whole, and not just a place to have lectures. In all I really enjoy being a part of RUC.

This place is fantastically innovative in its approaches to teaching and learning -i.e. problem-based, etc. The academics are very open as to how and what you wish to learn and will try their best to help you achieve your own personal learning goals. Super-inclusive and sympathetic supervisors. I will always miss the campus.
