Relevant literature on the various positions of the research subject is made available to the students.

The students also gain an in-depth insight into the procedures involved in scientific disputes.

Another opportunity to develop social skills is offered in the outdoor modules. These excursions are organised in co-operation with ecco Unternehmensberatung. This gives students a different approach to certain subject areas. The topics covered in the lecture, such as "change management", can be "experienced" by the students away from the lecture theatre. The experiences gained are discussed and reflected on together in the group.
