Special features regarding teaching

One of the outstanding features of teaching at HSU is the small-group concept: typical group sizes of 10 to 20 students ensure optimum supervision. The transfer of credits gained alongside studies to final module examinations boosts students' motivation and encourages their continued involvement. HSU has excellently equipped student labs for laboratory practicals; student project work combines theory and practice; interactive, web-based learning is offered as an addition to classic teaching.

Special features regarding the international orientation

There are also collaborations with various European and non-European partner universities. These are used for writing final theses, for example. The language centre offers a broad range of courses that students can use to best prepare themselves for periods abroad.

Special features regarding the equipment

The high-quality laboratory equipment is regularly upgraded and expanded. This means that the latest equipment is available for research and teaching.

Special features regarding research activities

HSU is not subject to a civil clause, which also enables participation in projects for research for peace and security

Other special features

The degree course is organised in trimesters rather than semesters.
