Overview

All modules emphasize

professional expertise means more than theoretical knowledge: application of professional knowledge is crucial
priorities include technical and professional expertise based on mathematics, natural sciences and technical skills
soft skills, including social competence and the ability to work in a team, are equally necessary for the students’ future employment.

An emphasis is placed on learning the practical manual skills in our modern laboratories, thus building a good basis for your later professional needs. In higher semesters students work in small groups in professionally-oriented projects where they must plan the project, work together to meet a common goal, and finally present their results in a written report and oral presentation.
