Reform of the ASQ pool

Revision of degree programmes beyond Bachelor's, Master's and Staatsexamen

Guest student programmes, exploratory studies or studying a module outside of a degree programme are being revised. Orientation within these offers will be improved in the future. 

Revision of the quality objectives and mission statement

The quality objectives adopted in 2013 are currently being revised to create an open-minded, sustainable mission statement for teaching at JMU. To this end, a survey of teaching staff and students was evaluated in advance. A writing group of students and ZBL staff is working on a draft version of the new mission statement, which will then go through various committees.

International Onboarding

An interdisciplinary offer is designed for international students regarding the special features of the German study system and the organization, which also explains the various contact points at JMU.

(Anonymous) contact point for students

The contact point offers university students a contact point for all concerns and complaints relating to studying and teaching, which can also be contacted anonymously if required.

Ten endowed prizes for theses

Performance must be valued. This project provides the faculties with the opportunity to award students for particularly outstanding theses.

Redesign of the Website about Teaching

The homepage is one of the central digital flagships of a university. The current revision of the “Teaching” website is intended to reflect the current usage behavior; outdated content is being removed to make way for something new.

Interdisciplinary “preliminary courses” on scientific work

Academic work and the writing of theses have always been difficult for many students. By creating an interdisciplinary (digital) offer for students, they should receive support for academic work and writing.

Fellowships for lecturers

Enabling continuous professional development opportunities for lecturers is a building block of excellent teaching. Two fellowships are intended to give interested lecturers the opportunity to take advantage of this further development in an international context.

Public Relations

Networking, passing on information and targeted communication with the target groups are just some of the elements of successful public relations work. It also creates transparency and space for exchange. The accessibility and cooperation of the ZBL with various stakeholders is to be strengthened and expanded in various sub-projects.
