Further information provided by the department

Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Course records are available for a variety of modules. For each semester, the laboratory and practical training courses are individually designed so that students can complete their courses and modules at any time. This prevents a delay in the schedule of studies. The laboratory equipment is also extensive and lectures are held in small groups. This allows instruction to be carried out in a seminar style with accompanying tutorials. This ensures high practical relevance and motivates the students.

Special features regarding the international orientation

The University of applied sciences uses established university networks to promote its cooperation policy and the development of sustainable partnerships. It is a member of the DAAD, the GATE Germany marketing consortium and the German Rectors' Conference. The University of applied sciences is active in the Erasmus+ programme and has signed the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education. There is an International Management professorship in the Engineering Science department. In addition, the department is active in the International Virtual Academic Collaboration and is involved in both virtual teaching and presence-based international teaching with international cooperation partners.

Special features regarding the equipment

The lecture theatres, seminar rooms, computer rooms and laboratories are state-of-the-art and are kept continuously up-to-date. In the library and corridors there are many study areas available and it is possible to work alone in individual learning cells in the library where group work can also be carried out.

Special features regarding research and development

The profile of the university is characterised by strong practical relevance as well as close collaboration with industry and other partners. Since small and medium-sized companies are often not able to operate adequate research and development facilities, the university makes a vital contribution to the development of the region by acting as a "research laboratory" for these companies. 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

Inclusion of the topic of sustainability in all degree courses; Building of a Digital Learning Factory; Interdisciplinary teaching and research (the department encompasses both Economics and Engineering, which promotes interdisciplinary teaching and research); Individual advice for students from the Career Centre and lecturers; Coordinated course and exam timetables for all courses of study), scholarships
