Special features regarding teaching
Strong inter-disciplinary character through the cooperation of teachers in the research centres "Zentrum für medizinische Biotechnologie" (Centre for Medical Biotechnology) and "Zentrum für Wasser- und Umweltforschung" (Centre for Water and Environmental Research). Many (Master's) degree courses are directly organised in cooperation with other faculties. This includes the Faculties of Medicine, Chemistry and Engineering. Dual degree courses are designed in cooperation with other universities (Ruhr Universität Bochum, Radboud University in Nijmegen). Many newly appointed professors in the last 5 years; Degree courses have been developed for the Bachelor's/Master's system, there were no prior degrees
Other special features
