The University of Bayreuth’s Teaching Mission Statement

The University of Bayreuth stands for the qualitatively excellent teaching and comprehensive education of our students. Our goal is to enable graduates to act independently, responsibly and successfully in their subject and the world of work, but also beyond.

In achieving this goal, the following principles are decisive for us: 

  • Competency-oriented teaching of advanced professional skills in research-oriented programmes,
  • Support for particularly capable and gifted students, 
  • Teaching and nurturing of social and cultural competencies and interdisciplinary openness, 
  • The close orientation of teaching to our research processes, and ongoing development of our teaching profile parallel to our research profile.

By studying at the University of Bayreuth, students should develop their personality and acquire a broad range of subject-specific and interdisciplinary competencies. This includes the ability to use digital media - in particular artificial intelligence - productively, thoughtfully and responsibly within their respective subject areas and related professional fields. The document 'AI in Teaching, Learning and Examinations' provides orientation on the potential and limitations of AI in study programmes.

General objectives and strategies for teaching at the University of Bayreuth can be found in our Teaching Mission Statement.
