Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Experienced professors and assistant professors manage the modules, the lecture forms of learning are individually structured by the teachers based on the specific needs. In addition to pure teaching of knowledge in lectures, there is also practical implementation of the acquired knowledge in exercise classes and project groups. Many of the learning methods also teach key qualifications. Thus, in project groups, a key learning objective is the ability to work in a team and ability to structure complex tasks. In the lectures, students work partly in group work and seminar work.

Special features regarding the international orientation

Currently there are young people from more than 60 countries enrolled at Mainz University of Applied Sciences. Of the approximately 5800 students, around 850 students come from abroad. Students at our university have the opportunity to complete part of their studies at over 90 partner universities worldwide. With the Erasmus+ university charter, we have committed to complying with the mobility standards. Currently, Mainz University of Applied Sciences is also well connected internationally thanks to the DAAD-funded "Internationalization@Home" project in the field of "Civil Engineering".
