Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme
School relevance from the start: School internships from the 1st academic year, physics subject-specific didactics from the 2nd semester, subject lessons in the student laboratory of the Institute of Physics from the 5th semester. The teaching qualification is central: All courses are geared towards the goal of the teaching qualification. No "getting by" in courses that have been designed solely for studies. Personal atmosphere Manageable cohorts, courses are generally small, students and lecturers get to know each other quickly.
Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes
Strong school relevance with practical semester. The teaching qualification is central: All courses are geared towards the goal of the teaching qualification. No "getting by" in courses that have been designed solely for studies. Personal atmosphere Manageable cohorts, courses are generally small, students and lecturers get to know each other quickly.
Special features regarding the international orientation
ERASMUS partnerships have been formed which focus on the exchange of students and lecturers.
Exchange universities for stay abroads
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgien; Université de Toulouse II - Le Mirail, Frankreich; St. Nicholas Montessori College Ireland, Dublin, Irland; Freie Universität Bozen, Italien; University of Latvia, Riga, Lettland; Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Toluca, Mexiko; Hogeschool Rotterdam, Niederlande; Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal; Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich, Schweiz;
Universidad de Valladolid, Spanien
Special features regarding the equipment
For computer simulations and visualisation: computer clusters, workstation pool, CAVE; Model workshop for the development of visual models: multiple 3D printers (filament printers, stereolithography printers), large format printers, laser cutters; For the experimental training of teacher training students: Collection of physics demonstration and student experiments.
Special features regarding research activities
Visualisation of relativity theory: Computer-generated films and interactive simulations, including black holes, wormholes, near-light-speed travel. Didactics of relativity theory: Development of new, school-appropriate approaches to the general theory of relativity. Focus areas are the development of new visual models and interactive simulations. Tests and evaluations in the school student laboratory "Raumzeitwerkstatt" at the Institute of Physics.
Other special features
Faculty award for best students, "Sustainability and Education" certificate; University-wide features: family-friendly university, extra-curricular studies programme, foundation university, Green Office
