Tell me and I will forget it. Show me and I might keep it. Let me do it and I will be able to do it.

This quote from Confucius is reflected today in modern brain research: sustainable learning success is achieved primarily through active learning. Simply listening to lectures may be familiar and comfortable, but usually only leads to superficial retention and imitation of predetermined content.

The ability to independently develop creative solutions to new problems is crucial for the demands of the future. Our teaching concept aims to enable students to think independently, critically and creatively. We do not see teaching purely as imparting knowledge, but as an active process of understanding, exploring and creating.

In order to specifically promote these skills, we rely on innovative, student-centered teaching methods such as problem-based learning, case-based learning and research-based learning. In projects, case studies and research-related tasks, students develop their own solutions, critically reflect on different perspectives and try out scientific methods in realistic contexts.

We also use formats such as the inverted classroom, design thinking and peer learning to promote exchange, teamwork and the creative handling of complex problems. This mix of methods creates a learning environment in which students not only absorb knowledge, but actively shape it.

Our teaching is subject to continuous further development. We continuously adapt content and methods on the basis of regular teaching evaluations and student feedback. We also align our teaching concepts with the current requirements of the labor market (employability) and expand our didactic skills through regular university didactic training. In this way, we ensure that our teaching remains both academically sound and practice-oriented and future-oriented.
