Study programmes
Across the study programmes of life sciences, natural sciences and veterinary medicine, our department's teaching focus is on social science topics. This is completely unique in a Danish academic context but has strong parallels at leading international universities.
IFRO teaches courses in theory of science, ethics, method and project work; in innovation and entrepreneurship, management and administration, conflict management, qualitative method, law, sociology; and policy and economics.
Our Bachelor and Master's Programmes
IFRO is the leading department with student management responsibilities for several economics degrees within the Faculty of Science (SCIENCE). Why?
