Teaching is characterised by a high proportion of seminar-style courses which enable active and intensive involvement of the students. Courses are regularly offered by native speakers of English, Chinese Korean and Japanese. Advanced students can regularly present their own research in colloquia to which international guest lecturers are also invited.
