General Studies
The Studium Generale teaches fundamental skills that go beyond subject-specific knowledge in the narrower sense and attempts to develop basic learning skills, social and cultural competence and ethical thinking.
It provides access to a productive cultureof debate and communication skills as well as interdisciplinary thinking and working. This makes it possible to jointly experience the claim of science to truthfulness and the competition between ideas and their practical realization.
