Introduction to the programme
How is the world around us structured, and how does it behave? How can we use scientific knowledge and methods to find solutions for the benefit of the environment, health, disease, medicine, and technology? These are some of the questions you can explore at International 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 in Natural Sciences.
The demand for employees and researchers with a natural science education will only increase in the future as the world needs to find new solutions to environmental-, health- and climate challenges. There will also be a need for curious individuals who can use experiments and fundamental theories to figure out how things are interconnected.
As a student you can focus on addressing societal problems such as reducing plastic pollution, restoring biodiversity or combating antibiotic resistance. You can also immerse yourself in scientific issues driven by curiosity and contribute to developing better fundamental understandings of the world around us, both through theories and experiments. You have access to our supercomputer and our new laboratories, which are used by both researchers and students.
You will be introduced to fundamental theories, techniques, and methods from various scientific disciplines, learning to work across scientific boundaries in collaboration with other students. You will be trained to think like a researcher, and in practice, you will work closely with researchers.
During your studies, you can choose the academic specialisations that interest you the most. Approximately half of your study will involve project work, giving you the opportunity to pursue your interests by selecting topics and issues to work on.
Daily life while studying
You will become part of a local scientific community, quickly getting to know your fellow students and becoming acquainted with the researchers.
In this local scientific environment, you will engage with your fellow students through laboratory exercises, computational exercises in small groups, attend joint lectures, academic seminars, and spend time in the students' own lounge areas after classes.
If you are interested, there are plenty of opportunities to participate in the social study environment, attending events, parties, and evenings at the NAT-Café, joining quiz-and-pizza events, participating in the Annual Spring Gala, board game nights, tournaments, or becoming a member of the RUC Brewery brewing group.
In your daily life, you can also enjoy the extensive campus of 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University with thousands of fellow students, a library, student house, cafeteria, training room, FabLab, parties, and Friday bars, etc.

兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 at 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University - what is it like?
What is it like to be a university student? What does project work mean? What characterises a bachelor's programme at 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University? And what does 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University Campus look like?
兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University’s campus
The university is situated on one single physical campus. There are multi-purpose sports courts, a football field, a disc golf course, nature trails along the lake, stream and the fields, a training centre, innovation workshops, a canteen, and a cinema. Our joint meeting place is called Student House RUC, where there is a student-run café and lounge. Both outdoors and indoors, we work to make the campus as sustainable as possible. Among other things, we have reduced energy consumption by 38 percent over the last 5 years and are converting our outdoor areas to wild nature.
Stine Timmermann Ottesen
"When we hire a project manager, medicine developer, or similar in the pharmaceutical industry, we need someone who not only has strong core expertise but can also see beyond that.
All development work happens in project teams, so it's not enough to be academically proficient in a narrow area. You also need to be curious about other expertise, build bridges, and collaborate. I find that quality to a high degree in those who come with a natural science background from 兴发娱乐官网手机版客户端 University."
