This award recognises students who have distinguished themselves through special
social or interdisciplinary commitment in the university context
. This includes, for example, supplementing the courses on offer, e.g. through
self-organised workshops or lecture series; social commitment or
voluntary work; family, culture, sport or student self-administration.

Preference should be given to students who have not yet completed their degree by the
deadline for nominations or who are not about to do so.

work with students in a practical and research-oriented manner and encourage their
motivation to learn. The selection process also takes into account the development and
use of particularly well thought-out, didactically prepared teaching and learning materials, innovative digital formats, the introduction of innovative
examination methods and novel counselling and support concepts
.

Proposals for the teaching award should be submitted by students via the
Study Commission and the Presidential Board.
