  • Special features regarding teaching
    Wide range of courses within the framework of a large department with 15 chairs and great freedom of choice in the courses (majors and minors). Embedding in the Faculty of Technology allows for an engineering orientation of the degree course. Many tutorials so that content from the lectures can be practised in small groups in the form of blackboard and computer exercises. Feedback through corrections of exercise sheets; research-oriented, but also practice-relevant education possible through a large number of research projects.
  • Exchange universities for stay abroads
    EPF Ecole d'Ingenieurs, Frankreich; Umeå universitet, Schweden; Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet, Norwegen; Université du Québec à Montréal, Kanada; Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spanien; Università della Svizzera italiana, Schweiz; National Taiwan University, Taiwan; University of Sheffield, Vereinigtes Königreich; Osaka University, Japan; Chungnam National University, Südkorea
