When you start at Roskilde University as a new bachelor student, you will meet staff and students who have prepared for the start of your studies ¨C not least the team of dedicated tutors, who have worked intensively throughout the summer to give you and your fellow students the best start to your studies. The tutors will introduce you to life as a student at Roskilde University, so that you have a good network when your study programme begins.

Intro period: 19 ¨C 29 August, 2024

Before the semester begins on 2 September 2024, we have arranged an introductory period where you will meet your fellow students for the first time, and you will get to know each other through various activities, both on the campus of Roskilde University and during an off-campus trip. The purpose of the intro period is to create a safe start and give you and your fellow students the best conditions to get started with your new life as university students. 

By participating in the intro period, you will have excellent opportunities to get to know your fellow students and create fun memories together. The relationships you build with each other give you a social network and equip you for your new everyday life as a student at Roskilde University.

After the intro period, you can look forward to the semester starting on 2 September, where your education truly begins, and where you will be welcomed by your group coordinator and your teachers. The semester start focuses on the academic introduction and prepares you to start your project work and courses, which begin in the days following 2 September.
