There are good reasons to study at Ostfalia. These include individual teaching and counselling services, effective learning in small groups and support from competent specialists.
Project teams & scale-up rooms
At Ostfalia, teaching and learning are not only individualised and practice-oriented. You benefit in particular from intensive personal dialogue with your lecturers and fellow students. Small study groups are the order of the day - for example in our so-called scale-up rooms. Here you sit at group tables for the entire course - active participation instead of passive listening is the order of the day. You have a good view of the teaching materials via a monitor or projection screens directly at the table.
Practical relevance is provided by the many projects in which you work with other students to develop concrete solutions and ideas on topics from your future professional field.
Individual support - maths the way you need it
Need to catch up in maths? If you want to make up for gaps in your knowledge and practice from your school days, you can take part in the maths bridge courses at Ostfalia before you actually start your studies and also get fit for your studies later, e.g. with the Maths Plus offer.
Academic writing made easy
The Writing Workshop team supports you in all matters relating to academic reading and writing - both with and without the use of AI applications. Student writing tutors offer confidential writing consultations and writing counselling for students at all Ostfalia locations. They are on hand to help you find suitable solutions for your academic writing projects.
Mastering challenges with the learning coaches
At the Ostfalia faculties, our learning coach es support you in overcoming your own personal challenges during your studies - e.g. exam nerves, lack of learning structures, procrastination or personal crisis situations.
Teaching skills for advanced students - modern didactics is the programme
It is not only students who are constantly developing at Ostfalia. The Centre for Successful Teaching and Learning also offers teachers at Ostfalia numerous suggestions and opportunities for further development to make your courses even more exciting and effective. Every year, the university awards the Ostfalia Teaching Prize for the most innovative and best courses.
