Outstanding teaching and learning are the result of applying established standards and providing the freedom to experiment and innovate. Our educators reflect on the content, methodology, and technological aspects of their teaching and seek to develop these areas by communicating with other instructors, students, and support staff in order to improve our university culture and enhance academic success. Freie Universität Berlin provides future-oriented teaching and learning formats as well as state-of-the-art infrastructures. Research-oriented teaching and a focus on building competencies are reflected in an array of project-oriented, problem-based, and research-driven formats. New formats for self-study and learner-centered teaching, which promote active participation and collaboration, are oriented to a diverse student body. Summative evaluation methods, formative assessments, and student feedback are innovative components of the university’s examination framework. The progressive field of quality-assured student teaching and learning projects offers opportunities for independent learning and knowledge transfer, as it hones students’ teaching skills and gives rise to a change in perspective by learning through teaching.
