Special features regarding teaching

Experienced professors and assistant professors manage the modules, the lecture forms of learning are individually structured by the teachers based on the specific needs. In addition to pure teaching of knowledge in lectures, there is also practical implementation of the acquired knowledge in exercise classes and project groups. Many of the learning methods also teach key qualifications. Thus, in project groups, a key learning objective is the ability to work in a team and ability to structure complex tasks. In the lectures, students work partly in group work and seminar work.

Special features regarding the international orientation

There are currently young people from more than 60 countries enrolled at the University of Mainz. Of the approx. 5800 students, some 850 students are from abroad. Students at our university have the opportunity to complete part of their studies at over 90 partner universities worldwide. With the Erasmus+ university charter, we have committed to complying with the mobility standards. Currently, the Mainz University of Applied Sciences is also well connected internationally in the field of ‘Civil Engineering’ through the DAAD-funded ‘Internationalization@Home’ project.
