SkiLL

SkiLL offers more than 20 courses from three thematic pillars for students each semester in the Studium Integrale (SI) . The goal is to offer attractive opportunities for the acquisition of valuable, interdisciplinary skills for all phases of study and beyond. The spectrum is broad and includes a variety of workshops on key qualifications and events that encourage students to participate and reflect, as well as mentor and tutor training.

As part of Studium Integrale (SI), students can complete a recognized SI certificate, which officially certifies the acquisition of career-relevant key competencies and can be attached to the university transcript when applying for jobs.

Ethics, sustainability and social interaction

Ethics addresses current societal, social and sustainable issues and offers students an intensive examination of all societal issues relating to diversity, togetherness, dispute culture, social engagement, digitalization, Labor Market 4.0 and sustainable development. Reflection skills and social competencies for relevant future topics are developed and expanded in varied formats. Students can also have their additional commitment to the topic of ethics certified. The acquisition of 100 ethics points entitles you to the Ethikum certificate, which confirms that you have voluntarily dealt with socially relevant issues beyond the subject horizon during your studies. This certificate with the focus on "ethics" or "sustainability" is very interesting for your future employers.
