The flexible teaching and learning system is an essential quality feature of the faculty's study programme. Based on the blended learning concept, printed and digital study guides are supplemented by technology-based learning environments and tools that are used according to subject-specific and didactic requirements for the provision of content as well as for communication and collaboration.

Studies and examinations are possible in distance learning around the world. Currently, about 7% of students at the open university live abroad, and about 9% at the Faculty of Mathematics.

Teaching is carried out alongside analogue and digital teaching texts using the Moodle virtual teaching and learning platform, which offers a large number of other digital learning opportunities. Assignments are sometimes also handled via an online exercise system during the semester. Online exams and the entire final thesis process take place here. All online resources are accessible via the central "studyPORT” system. The library offers the students databases with both subject-specific and interdisciplinary sources of information.

Research and support for junior academics are of particular importance at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics. The faculty represents the diversity of subjects and methods contained in the subjects in research and teaching. The faculty's websites provide an overview of current research topics. The research topics are subject-specific and wide-ranging. In addition, faculty members participate in the university-wide research priorities.

Diversity plays a very important role because the student organisation at the open university is characterised by their diversity and heterogeneity: age, origin, professional background, family life situation. This is a challenge and an opportunity at the same time. Therefore, there is an ongoing reflection on the study system and the current forms of teaching and supervision in order to points and to an appreciative approach to diversity.
