Research-based Learning
Studying at the University of Bremen is characterized by research-based learning. Throughout their academic journey, students engage in all phases of the research process within their courses.s. They develop questions, conduct independent, scientifically and methodologically grounded investigations and present their results. The process, their own assumptions and the results are critically reflected upon.
The research-based learning format fosters critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, self-directed learning, teamwork, and scientific communication.These interdisciplinary skills are honed and applied within the degree programs. Students acquire foundational knowledge in their fields and have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific subject areas and research topics based on their interests.
As part of the university's teaching profile development, research-based learning is pivotal in shaping the curricula. Teaching staff members receive support through ongoing training and advisory services provided by the university's higher education didactics team.
