Teaching

At the Digital Science Center (DiSC), we provide a solid, interdisciplinary foundation in digital science that equips students with essential skills for the age of digitalization. The main pillars of our teaching portfolio are:
 


Our teaching team comprises not only core DiSC members, but also our affiliates and other lecturers, who make significant contributions in delivering interdisciplinary digital science education. Our teaching collaboration is bilateral: we integrate teaching contributions from other faculties into our portfolio while also delivering courses to students within other study programmes. This dynamic exchange fosters strong educational synergies and encourages new cooperation in research.

We are committed not only to continuously enhancing our teaching portfolio in response to student demand and the latest research findings but also to adapting swiftly to unforeseen situations. For instance, during the pandemic, we quickly transitioned to distance teaching, and similarly, following the release of ChatGPT, we promptly initiated the development of AI policies and content.

You can find out how our students perceive our teaching or read more about our recognized courses: the Programming in Python course was shortlisted in the LehrePlus!2022 teaching award and the Generative AI course featured in the Atlas of Good Teaching published by the Federal Ministry for Women, Science, and Research.
