The Bachelor's and Master's Programmes in Social Sciences at RUC are based on interdisciplinarity with Social Sciences subjects such as economics, political systems and social conditions. More than a thousand students are enrolled in our Social Science Bachelor Programmes - 800 in the Danish programme and 200 in the English/International programme. The bachelor students are based in 10 buildings o

n campus called ‘houses’. Department of Social Science & Business at Roskilde University is one of the largest departments, if not the largest of its kind. With more than 90 permanent staff members and more than 60 Ph.D. students we offer an attractive international environment for teaching and research. A significant percentage of our students and of our permanent staff is non-Danish which contributes to strengthening the international ambitions of the Department. Our research focuses on societal changes and the impact of such developments and changes on the modes of function of different societies whether they are Western democracies or fragile states in poor regions of the world. Our research is based on solid empirical knowledge in combination with the relevant social science theories aiming at generating novel scientific insights into the on-going societal changes, confrontations and conflicts.
