Interdisciplinary Study Partnerships
Internationally competitive teaching
standards and top-class research activities
prepare our students in the best
possible way for a career on the global
market. An increasing number of our
study programs are taught in English
with a strong focus on current international
issues, and several are offered in
cooperation with other University
departments. Our aim is to provide our
students with the professional, technical,
social and interpersonal skills they
need to meet the diverse requirements
of the labor market. Our teaching and
research activities involve the analysis
of a large number of scientific problems
in cooperation with faculty members
from the engineering, media, computer
science, psychology, and education
fields. In other words, interdisciplinarity
is a firm part of the teaching and
research culture at the Faculty of Bus i -

interdisciplinary curricula that both
offer specialist knowledge and place
strong emphasis on neighboring and
