Studium Generale - what is it?
The Studium Generale at Coburg University of Applied Sciences offers teaching and cultural
programs that promote lateral scientific thinking, interdisciplinary learning and teamwork beyond
in-depth specialist knowledge and specifically support the personal development of students.
The offerings are bundled in the Science and Culture Center.
The courses, seminars and lectures are open to all students.
In order for German companies with creative and emotionally intelligent staff to be able to compete globally, not only specialist knowledge is now in demand on the academic labor
market, but also social skills, interdisciplinary thinking and other key qualifications (…).
