Special features regarding teaching

In addition to features regarding content, especially the teaching methods practised contribute to the profile of the courses of study. The main objectives are: Guidance on independent work, teaching of inter-disciplinary and networked thinking, promotion of communication skills, project management, leadership qualification and team-oriented behaviour, ability to think in an abstract, analytical way and to work scientifically . This is achieved by a good student-teacher ratio in the lectures with 40 to 70 participants in the Bachelor's degree and with 20 participants in the Master's courses.
