Digitization, study and teaching
The Digitization, Studies and Teaching unit aims to represent students in their dealings with the university and to work towards improving teaching and learning conditions, shaping the digitization process in the interests of students, introducing autonomous tutorials and promoting interdisciplinary exchange. The aim is to adopt positive developments in digitization from the pandemic, to provide impetus for the continuation of digital formats and to enable all students, taking into account their individual prerequisites and life situations, to study smoothly and on their own responsibility. The student perspective and co-determination is the basis of the unit’s work. The Department for Digitization, Studies and Teaching defines itself as a contact point for students with questions and concerns regarding studies and teaching. As a student institution, we want to represent the individual students together with the student councils.
