usually classroom teaching; Seminars and exercises in groups of up to 20 students, where lecturers act as learning companions and learning progress can be tracked individually; Hands-on training in small groups with a 1:6 lecturer-student ratio to facilitate students’ individual training in practical skills; Implementation of the concept of problem-oriented learning; Use of interactive charts; Use of the ‘Moodle’ teaching platform to provide complementary digital content; Use of special teaching methods such as blended learning formats, peer instruction, clicker systems

The department has fully equipped laboratories for both biotechnology and medical technology to teach modern techniques and methods in extensive internships.
