Our Teaching
The integrative character of the chair is reflected by its teaching profile: The overriding goal of our teaching is to provide students with both fundamental technical knowledge in the analytical-methodological field, and application- and implementation-oriented knowledge in a way that is appropriate to the target group. Research and teaching are closely linked and enable students to participate directly in every stage of the research process.
