The faculty has a high percentage of international academic teaching staff and students. Parts of the lectures and the entire Master's degree course in Water Science are taught in English. International experts who are guests of the university regularly offer additional seminars and lectures, especially for advanced Master's students and doctoral candidates (e.g. as part of the annual Werdelmann Lecture or of the graduate college "Supramolecular Chemistry in Proteins").

The laboratories have all been completely renovated and newly equipped within the last 10 years as part of new construction measures and core refurbishment of existing buildings. The equipment in the teaching laboratories is therefore modern and state-of-the-art.
