Tusinde og To Valg

Communication seems like a completely natural, obvious and fundamental part of being a person living amongst other people in society. It doesn't take a whole lot to communicate, and we do it all the time in direct and indirect ways. Which is the exact reason for studying it at an academic level.

Professor at communication studies, Sine Nørholm Justesen joins the studio to talk about the course.
 
Sine explains why and how studying communication at RUC makes sense, and how the fact that it's the first communication course in Denmark, makes it such deep-rooted and thouroughly thought out. We also talk about what 'professional' communication skills means, how communication can be bound together with any other academic field and how a muddied information landscape in the future, makes communicative experts even more needed.

Everywhere there are businesses which run smoothly, while incorporating a bunch of different disciplines. To make it all run as intended, the businesses juggle an active network of dynamics and impulses from both internal and external forces.
 
Head of study at business studies, Mette Apollo Rasmussen joins the studio to talk about the course.
 
First of all, Mette explains how this combi subject course differentiates itself from the similar single subject course at RUC; business administration. Mette also talks about how the course implements different disciplines like law, accounting and HRM. Other than that she expands on how business studies is able to follow current developments within the business world, and which projects the students write during the course.

Physics is one of the fundamental scientific disciplines, which seeks to understand essential behaviours in our universe. That, and the fact that it’s one of the oldest academic subjects, obviously tells you why it’s mega important.
 
Head of study at physics at RUC, Nicholas Bailey hops into the studio to talk about the course.
 
We talk about what kind of motivation you should have to study physics, which should come from within. We also talk about admission requirements, why quantum mechanics is a larger focus on the course and how physics can help with solving green transitions.

Biological processes goes on around us all the time, and is obviously a part of shaping our everyday life. Understanding these processes are therefore essential for understanding ourselves and the surrounding world.
 
For this episode we’ve have invited head of study at bioprocess science at RUC, Per Meyer Jepsen into the studio to talk about the course.
 
Per explains about how the course at RUC focuses on the bioprocesses in a truly interdisciplinary way, but doesn’t purely develop technological solutions. We talk about how the course is inspired by the natural world in service of mankind, its relevance for modern circular supply chains and how the students excitement in the lab can be hard to control. Per also inform us about the story of a bachelor’s student getting a job at Novo Nordisk.

Mathematics are so fundamental to understanding how things work in our modern world. Its underlying equations are the same, whether you’re creating models for pandemics or creating data programs.
 
Head of study at mathematics at RUC, Jesper Schmidt Hansen jumps on the mic to talk about the course.
 
We talk about which focus mathematics at RUC has, its role in understanding artificial intelligence and how the basic tools you get from mathematics at RUC can be used in a plethora of ways. We also talk about one of the most quoted scientists in Denmark, who’s actually a mathematician from RUC.

Businesses are everywhere you look, and seemingly they run smoothly day after day, week after week. To keep them running, there's a lot of disciplines that come into play. It's a fine network of impulses shooting back and forth, which keeps all of these different and diverse businesses on the right track.

Head of study at business administration, Mette Apollo Rasmussen joins the studio to talk about the course.

Mette talks us through how different disciplines like law, accounting and HRM intertwine at the course, and more importantly, how they convey it to students in a comprehensive and adequate way. We also talk about how the lecturers invite real-life businesses to RUC, how the course can help structuring organizations in the future and how even the smallest daily behavior patterns can help paint a broader picture of businesses.

Our environment is something that we cannot avoid, and we’re constantly engaged in a relation with it. That’s why the bachelor’s subject environmental biology exists at RUC.
 
Head of study at environmental biology, Per Meyer Jepsen joins the studio to talk about the course.
 
Per talks us through the different aspects of environmental biology, and explains how it’s grounded in good old fashioned biology. We also talk about how the students are out collecting samples from nature, and bring them home to examine at the the labratory in close collaboration with lecturers at the university. Other than that, we talk about their field work week, what projects the students write and how environmental biology can help with explaining all of the unknowns present in nature.

Cultural encounters is a constant in the contemporary lifestyle, and if it isn't, everyone still gets affected by cultural encounters in a multitude of intertwined and complex ways.

Lecturer at the bachelor's course, cultural encounters at RUC, Louise Tranekjær takes us through different aspects of her course in this episode of Tusinde og To Valg.

We talk about how the course can encompass such a vast and complex field of studies, and how a fundamental understanding of cultural interactions have got a wide range of uses. We also talk about the international nature of the course, and how the students draw upon their own real-life experiences throughout their studies. For example when undertaking a study of cultural encounters in the 5C bus in Copenhagen.

Chemistry is here, there and everywhere. It's a essential part of fulfilling peoples most basic needs, which makes it quite a rich and complex subject area. And the again, maybe not.

We talk with head of studies at chemistry at RUC, Anders Malmendal, and he helps us grasp what the course contains.

He breaks the course down, and explains what chemistry is about in very simple terms. Anders also tells us about which unique opportunities you have at RUC, to get a wide and ground-level understanding of chemistry, before you specialize further. Other than that, he emphasizes the use of experiments, and draws on his own experiences to point out, that you can use chemistry in a surprisingly diverse way.

Bæredygtig omstilling lyder som et par buzzwords, der er gået inflation i de seneste år. Kandidatfaget bæredygtig omstilling på RUC er dog alt andet end et par buzzwords. Det er et fag, som går til de store samfundsmæssige problemstillinger vi står overfor, indenfor områder som klima og energi, med en naturfaglig og teknisk viden.

I denne episode af Tusinde og To Valg taler vi med lektor Thomas Budde Christensen om kandidatuddannelsen bæredygtig omstilling på RUC.

Thomas forklarer hvordan bæredygtig omstilling overhovedet skal forstås, og hvordan de studerende bliver undervist i at koble samfundsvidenskab, naturvidenskab og teknik sammen. Det giver dem nemlig evnen til at integrere en bred palette af vidensfelter i helt konkrete og håndgribelige løsninger, som faktisk kan bruges ude i samfundet. Vi kommer også ind på deres hyggelige studieture til Bruxelles, der naturligvis ikke foregår i et fly.
