In the early 1970s two experimental universities, one rural (Roskilde) and one urban (Aalborg) were established. Their uniqueness is based on a nontraditional curriculum structure, with an interdisciplinary approach. The two have developed very differently, particularly in stability, autonomy, and distinctiveness. (MSE)
