The Center for Teaching and Learning (ZLL) has been supporting studies and teaching at the university as a central unit since 2021. In line with the mission statement for teaching, we work with Faculties and central institutions to develop study preparation and support programmes. We offer students seminars and workshops on key competences, practical skills and soft skills as well as learning materials and advice. The aim is to provide students with the best possible support during their studies and prepare them for professional life. We support lecturers in designing courses and offer didactic training and technical resources. As a research-based institution, we network regionally and internationally and bring research findings back to the university. We also create the framework conditions for curriculum development and advise the university management as an interface between different stakeholder groups.
