Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Instruction ins generally offered in the interactive format of the "seminar-style lecture". In small groups (up to 42 participants), courses are always supplemented by group work, presentations, exercises, etc. There are also separate exercises and other formats, such as practice projects for courses in methodology. Value is attached to high rates of participation and activation. Each course is also accompanied by teaching content for self-study, whereby digital media are integrated as well. The inclusion and critical examination of AI are also a part of this.

Special features regarding the international orientation

With the "International Studies" module, the Department of Economics & Media at Fresenius University of Applied Sciences offers a mobility window for stays abroad and thus promotes internationalisation. Exchange programmes, hybrid formats (including TAVEC), business excursions and collaborations enable intercultural experiences. The Buddy Programme strengthens integration and international competence. Language courses, master classes (e.g. Arizona State University) and short programmes specifically prepare students for global career prospects.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, Zwolle, Niederlande; Università di Bologna, Bologna, Italien; Universidad de Málaga, Málaga, Spanien; Universidad Europea Madrid, Madrid, Spanien; Ostfold University College, Halden, Norwegen; Universidade de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal. Die oben genannten Zahlen und Kooperationen beziehen sich ausschließlich auf den Bereich Studierendenaustausch (Erasmus). Diese machen nur einen kleinen Teil der studentischen Mobilität aus. Der Großteil der Mobilitäten findet im Bachelor im Rahmen der Study Abroad Programme statt. Diese Programme sind in dem Sinne vororganisiert, als das mit der Partnerhochschule vorab ein festes Kurspaket abgestimmt wird. Dieses Modell bietet Anrechnungssicherheit und erlaubt es, eine große Zahl Studierender ins Ausland zu schicken. Es stehen aktuell 7 Hochschulen zur Verfügung: Pace University, New York, Vereinigte Staaten; University of Technology, Sydney, Australien; London Metropolitan University, London, Vereinigtes Königreich; Asia Pacific University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Shanghai University, Shanghai, China; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spanien; Griffith College, Dublin, Irland.
