Special features regarding teaching

Students can tailor their studies in our faculty to their own interests and determine their own specialisations. The flexible semester allows students to complete a long work placement or semester abroad in the Bachelor's degree courses without losing any time; in the Master's degree course, students can obtain two degrees within the double degree programmes. In addition, the course is characterised by a good student-teacher ratio, a wide range of electives, also from other subjects, a high degree of internationality and excellent job market opportunities.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Internationalisation is an important quality feature: English-taught courses in all Master´s degree programmes and PhD programmes; Dual degrees with international partners; Joint teaching with international partners; Enhanced profile as a result of a high proportion of study-related stays and work placements abroad; International visiting lecturers; Dedicated structures for international students: Coordinators, academic advice, orientation and buddy programmes; High-quality international partner universities and targeted international continuing education for all staff form the foundation.
