We offer a variety of courses taught in German or English tailored for Bachelor’s and Master’s students. For courses conducted in German, we highly recommend that students possess a B2 level of language proficiency, as this will enable them to fully engage with the course material and participate effectively in class discussions.

We strongly advise students to prioritize seminars over lectures. Seminars provide a more interactive and personalized learning experience, allowing students to deepen their understanding of the subject matter through direct engagement with instructors and peers. This format not only enhances learning outcomes but also fosters critical thinking and collaborative skills.
