Good Teaching and Learning
University of Research-Based Learning
The University of Bremen’s teaching profile is consistently oriented toward research-based learning. This didactic principle encompasses activating teaching methods and close integration with current research and research processes, including their reflection.
In recent years, the University of Bremen has embedded research-based learning concepts into numerous study programs across all departments, thereby strengthening the relationship between research and teaching.
The mission statement for teaching and studies, amended by the Academic Senate in 2021, articulates our commitment to being a "university of research-based learning." This approach provides all students with the opportunity to develop into responsible and critically thinking individuals with strong professional competence through reflective discourse, considering the increasing trends of digitalization and datafication.
