    Invitation Collaborate with strong students - an easy and effective route to ideas and future employees Roskilde University 1 "As a ‘university based in reality’ we Welcome believe that RUC's primary duty is to engage in innovative collaborations with actors outside the realm of the university, who wish to contribute to creating the learning, knowledge and problem solving that can move society forward". 2 Welcome Roskilde University prioritises its engagement with reality. Our 9,000 students spend half of their studies carrying out projects. Many of these projects are implemented in close cooperation with private companies, government agencies and interest groups. This large volume of projects means that our students make an enormous difference in many places. If you are not already working with some of our students, we hope you will consider it. It can provide ideas and perspectives that you can use in the organization of your work. In product development. And for your bottom line. We also know that many of our graduates return to one of the companies they have worked with as students. This means that there can also be a long-term benefit. Be sure to read the folder. If you find it interesting, we would be delighted to hear from you. Hanne Leth Andersen Rector 3 Get fresh insights and inspiring ideas from those who may become your future employees RUC's 9,000 students work in a wide range of technology, arts, social and natural sciences. The following pages contain examples of some of the issues they work with.

  • Higher Education in Denmark Is Offered at Three Levels: Short-Cycle Higher Education, Medium-Cycle Higher Education and Long-Cycle Higher Education
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Higher education in Denmark is offered at three levels: Short-cycle higher education, medium-cycle higher education and long-cycle higher education. The responsibility for higher education is divided between three ministries; the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, the Danish Ministry of Culture (medium and long cycle education within the area of arts) and the Ministry of Defence. The Ministry of Higher Education and Science is responsible for both short-cycle, medium-cycle and long-cycle programmes. The short-cycle and medium-cycle programmes are the academy profession programmes taking place at the Academies of Professional Higher Education (Erhvervsakademier) and the professional bachelor programmes taking place at the University Colleges (Professionshøjskoler). The long-cycle programmes such as the bachelor, master and PhD programmes take place at the universities. A number of university level institutions are regulated by the Danish Ministry of Culture and offer first, second and third cycle degree programmes in subject fields such as design, music and fine and performing arts. The bachelor, master and PhD programmes at these institutions are awarded after 180, 120 and 180 ECTS, respectively. A higher education degree within theatre or filmmaking is awarded after four years of study (240 ECTS). Music Academies offer a specialist degree of 2-4 years following the master's degree. The academic year is normally divided in two semesters: The first starting in August/September with exams in December/January and the second starting in January/February with exams in May/June. Some programmes are divided into four shorter terms.

  • Copenhagen April 19, 2017 Dear President Juncker, President Tusk
    Copenhagen April 19, 2017 Dear President Juncker, President Tusk, and President Tajani, Over the coming months, the decision on where to relocate the European Medicines Agency (EMA) will be on the table for you as a European decision-maker. We are representatives of a broad coalition of public and pri- vate institutions in Denmark deeply involved in and dependent on a well-functioning European medicines authority. We believe Copenhagen offers optimal conditions for hosting the EMA thanks to the presence of a world-class research environment, an innovative and vibrant life science cluster, a unique basis for a strong focus on patient and animal safety, an efficient infrastructure, and high liveability for employees and their families. Allow us to elaborate. Less known than Silicon Valley is Europe’s own Medicon Valley in the Greater Copenhagen area. Comprising 28 hospitals of which 11 are university hospitals, three world-class universities, hundreds of biotech and pharmaceutical companies from around the globe, and Copenhagen Airport at the centre, it is a scientific stronghold for the EU. Copenhagen, thus, offers an exceptional research and innovation ecosystem; the key pillars being strong public research environments, innovative life-science cluster and a very successful phar- maceutical and medtech industry. A strong tradition for public-private collaboration between universities, hospitals and the life science industry is characteristic for the region. Placing EMA in Copenhagen would fur- ther strengthen the EU’s global position in this field. Importantly, the institutions, universities and hospitals in the area ensure that there is a highly competent and professionally skilled workforce ready for EMA to tap into at any given time.
