In addition to the subject-specific knowledge and skills the faculty also attaches great importance to general skills: Students learn methodical working methods, attend seminars on personality development and work on project topics (including interdisciplinary ones). The focus here is also on the direct link to professional practice. First-semester tutorials provide orientation in the initial phase of the degree course; subject-specific tutorials provide support for exam preparation. The faculty also participates actively in two projects from the "Quality Pact in Teaching" of the BMBF to continually develop teaching.

The international branch of study "Emerging Technologies" in the degree course Future Technologies with an integrated year of study abroad at a partner university (USST Shanghai/China, Winnipeg/Canada, Twente/Netherlands, SIT Tokyo/Japan) is geared toward the needs of internationally oriented physics engineers. 70 % of the course is taught in English. In bioanalysis, summer schools are offered at several locations (including Split/Croatia) on a regular basis. Students have contact with international companies and students during the degree course.

The research institutes of the faculty as well as the laboratories more closely associated with teaching are kept up to date and thus offer the best prerequisites for top-class applied research and innovative, practice-oriented knowledge transfer. The high level of third-party funding and the strong participation in research projects ensure excellent facilities.

The faculty is one of the most research-intensive faculties. The integration of teaching and excellent research is a primary goal. The department is involved in two research focuses and has excellent equipment and a high level of third-party funding. The department is involved in a variety of research projects, both nationally (including Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), German Research Foundation (DFG)) and internationally (including EU) and has many international collaborations. The department has the right to confer doctoral degrees in the Analytics4Health doctoral cluster.

The faculty attaches great value to good contact between lecturers and students and encourages this through activities inside and outside of the curriculum such as informational events at the start of the semester, even in the higher semesters, informal gatherings in the degree course and a general "policy of short distances and open doors".
