Roskilde University (RU)
The largest educational institution in Region Zealand, Roskilde Universitet (RU) is Denmark's 'different' university. At RU, we are in a close dialogue with the world around us: locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. We receive input from the outside world about social and societal challenges that research can address, and we share our research results with the rest of the world, frequently and with great pleasure. Our desire to engage and be engaged, however, is not only aimed at the rest of the world. We also turn our focus inwards, seeking a strong engagement with and by all here at RU, both staff and students. We believe that together we make RU what it is, i.e. the attractive alternative to the rest of the Danish academic community.
At RU, we think in innovative and creative terms about our research, education and ability to innovate. We are not afraid to try new things, and we constantly develop new offerings, just as we continually seek to develop our green profile. We especially think across traditional lines and boundaries, seeking our own way in solving problems and tackling challenges. We dare think outside the box and never allow ourselves to be limited by habitual thinking. That’s the way we are, because that’s what we feel is best and what we do best.

Molecular biology is a broad subject that spans many areas. You will, for example, study:
- Gene splicing, which is the transfer of genes from one organism to another, whereby an organism can attain new traits.
- Microbiology, which is the study of the structure and development of microorganisms. A micro-organism is a living organism that can only be seen in a microscope.
- Genetics, the study of living organisms' origins, development and inherited traits through the examination of genes.
- Biochemistry, which deals with the chemical composition of living organisms, and the chemical processes that take place inside them.
Teaching varies between problem-oriented project work in groups, laboratory exercises, lectures, fieldwork and classroom instruction. Project work makes up a large part of the study. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
