Special features regarding teaching
New forms of teaching that are based on teamwork: the team project is a form of teaching where the students work on a specific, practice-related and/or research-related task in supervised groups. At least one team project while studying, more team projects possible; practical relevance and proximity to research through subject-specific "team projects" in every subject of Computer Science, example topics: IoT developments and test environments, design and development of ERP modules, deep learning applications, search services or data mining functions, social network analysis and customer preferences.
Exchange universities for stay abroads
Univ. Niigata, Japan; Armstrong State University, USA; Uppsala University, Schweden; Uni. Porto, Portugal; TU Tampere, Finnland; Universite du Havre, Frankreich; University of the Aegean, Griechenland; University Bergen, Norwegen; University Pompeu Fabra, Spanien; Thammasat University, Thailand
