Overview
Liberal Arts
In this still young field of study, a broad and personal interest oriented scientific education should be carried out.
The study field at a glance
While today's German universities are mostly disciplinary, Liberal Education is the training of accomplished generalists based on the Anglo-Saxon model.
The study is interdisciplinary and includes the courses offered by several faculties. It allows extensive individual design options. The main topics are science, engineering, politics and society, environment, law, economics and culture.

The acquired problem-solving strategies are applied and practiced to complex questions from science and practice.
