First-semester students who do not yet have a university ID can find the start-of-semester dates on this page

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

The bachelor programs in our faculty are closely interconnected. Joint lectures take place as early as the first semesters, and later on, interdisciplinary elective-required modules and project-based courses are offered. Through this exchange, students not only become familiar with the perspectives and methods of other disciplines but also benefit from the mutual transfer of knowledge. In this way, they develop valuable interdisciplinary skills early on, which are of great importance in their future careers.
