Special features regarding the equipment

Teaching and learning take place in pleasant new or very well renovated buildings. The equipment of all seminar rooms and lecture halls allows the use of various media (projectors, screens, smartboards, document cameras). The laboratories include state-of-the-art technology. Several computer cluster rooms are available to students. The university buildings are equipped with WiFi. Numerous study areas are available. The library has access to extensive literature, including through an online library network.

Special features regarding research activities

The university's profile is also characterised by strong application relevance in research (including the DFG) and intensive cooperation with industry and other partners. Since small and medium-sized companies often cannot operate sufficient R&D departments, the university, as the "research laboratory" of these companies, makes an important contribution to the development of the region. In addition, the research serves the purpose of continuously updating the curriculum and provides interesting fields of work for the students as within the framework of projects and theses.

Other special features

Many students receive scholarships, a large number of which are in the "cooperative model" (scholarship linked to work in a company during the non-lecture period); Individual advice for students from the Career Centre and lecturers; Coordinated course and exam timetables for all courses of study. The department encompasses both Economics and Engineering, which promotes interdisciplinary teaching and research (example: Technology - Environment - Economy). The topic of sustainability is anchored in all degree courses from winter semester 26/27.
