They possess social skills and general learning competencies through group work on topics from Computer Science (BA Computer Science, BA Applied Computer Science) and Medical Informatics (BA Medical Informatics). Additionally, students can independently apply methods and techniques of project work, use presentation techniques, and are familiar with and understand the basic forms of cooperative problem-solving. At an early stage, they gain an overview of the diverse study programs offered by the department and have a strong foundation for successful studies.
