About us Mission statement for the teaching of the Faculty

The goal of teaching is the qualification of students for a wide range of activities in the field of research and practice. From the very first semester the teaching at the faculty has a strong research orientation. Latest research results are being included in the teaching and students get involved in ongoing research projects wherever possible in order to qualify them for independent scientific work.

At the same time the teaching is characterized by a strong practical orientation by which the students are being prepared for demanding professions as well as innovative fields of work.

In order to qualify students to go beyond the borders of individual disciplines, the teaching is partly being placed in transdisciplinary study-courses. 

A variety of teaching-learning formats are used to ensure high learning success and motivation. To achieve these goals, the lecturers make use of both established and innovative methods in teaching which encourage students to get involved and make themselves heard. 

The support of on-site-teaching through e-learning (e.g. blended learning) provides our students and lecturers with new forms of cooperation and communication. Web-based communication and the offering of web-based tools in teaching and learning intensify the exchange of knowledge with other students, and improve the individual support by lecturers.

Through teaching, the students will be prepared for the requirements of an increased internationalization. For this purpose, study-courses introduce in cross-cultural competencies and are partly offered in bi-lingual form. During the standardized B.A. and M.A. study programmes international exchange is being encouraged and supported by the faculty. 

The quality of teaching is systematically guaranteed and improved, by regular evaluations of individual courses, degree programmes and graduate surveys.
