Students often worry about feeling lost in the larger student body. This concern is unfounded: the program offers plenty of networking opportunities for exchange, questions, and collaborative learning. In addition, the professors maintain close contact with their students.

Lectures are just one of many teaching formats at the university. In seminars, students learn in groups of about 20 to 30 participants. In addition, there are exercises and tutorials, which are usually offered by students in higher semesters and review the content of the lectures.

Reviewing course content independently and deepening your knowledge according to your individual focus is essential during your studies. In addition, the student council and other university institutions, such as the MINT-Kolleg, offer learning opportunities for support and further study.
