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.
We teach 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.
IFRO is the leading department with student management responsibilities for several economics degrees within the Faculty of Science (SCIENCE). Why? Because it impossible to study the great challenges of global society such as climate change or development in the global South without an understanding of economics.
