Roskilde University Center (RUC) faced significant financial difficulties in 2022, budgeting for a substantial deficit.

The university devised a strategy to alleviate these financial pressures. The plan focused on increasing student enrollment by attracting students from developing nations.

While seen as a potential solution to the financial woes, the university administration itself acknowledged potential hurdles. RUC recognized that recruiting a large number of international students could pose “academic challenges.”
